During Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan’s press conference last week, one of the most important topics that was discussed was where MacLellan believed the holes in his team were.
As many fans expected, the third line center position was heavily discussed. During the post-season, lines were juggled several times with Marcus Johansson and Mike Richards occupying the position most of the time.
While Johansson did well, the Washington Capitals would like to keep him on the wing. At the same time, it is unclear whether or not Richards will return to the team.
