But there’s still some questions that are lingering within the streets around Washington. Capitals fans are eager for hockey’s return but some had to go through the emotional aspect of moving on from players they were attached to. Players like Brett Connolly, Brooks Orpik, Matt Niskanen, Devante Smith-Pelly, and Andre Burakovsky.
New faces include Richard Panik, Garnet Hathaway, Brendan Leipsic and Radko Gudas. General manager Brian MacLellan also extended the contracts of Carl Hagelin and Jakub Vrana, Christian Djoos and Chandler Stephenson.
