The 2018-19 regular season comes rapidly to a close but before that, it is time to take a look at some of the Capitals’ prospects (Nathan Walker, Shane Gersich, Ilya Samsonov) and what they have been up to this year. Have some taken a step forward or backward? Washington won the Stanley Cup last year but still has a pretty good pipeline.
Prospect wise, Washington expects a pick somewhere in the twenties this year. The Capitals pick six times in the 2019 NHL Draft. They traded away their third-round pick last month. That was the deal for Carl Hagelin.
