The Washington Capitals last year used their first and second round picks on defensemen taking Alexander Alexeyev and Martin Fehervary, so look for the Capitals this year taking forwards.
It is more likely for the Capitals to draft a left-winger with Alex Ovechkin getting up in years, and a potential trade in the future involving Andre Burakovsky the Capitals could be looking for a left-winger in this years draft to play on the third line this year, or next year.
A great draft pick who could fall to the Capitals is Jakob Pelletier from the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL.
