The Washington Capitals infatuation with former Pittsburgh Penguins continued last off-season. This time around they added the likes of Justin Shultz and Conor Sheary. They are added to the list of Brooks Orpik, Matt Niskanen, Todd Reirden as a coach, and Carl Hagelin. That’s a lot of former rivals in a fairly short amount of time.
Some have had more success, and a lot more team success in that time. Orpik and Niskanen helped the Caps win the Stanley Cup in 2018 with Reirden being an assistant coach.
