With Risk Comes Upside

If you were hoping the Washington Capitals would have an exciting summer, you’re probably thrilled with the club’s actions over the last month.

Now former General Manager Brian MacLellan has always been very transparent on what he wants to do with the team – so when he said he wanted to shake things up, he was not lying, and did just that. Within weeks, he added a couple of top-six players in Pierre Luc-Dubois and Andrew Mangiapane; a starting goalie in Logan Thompson; a couple of top-four defensemen in Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy; and a couple of bottom-six wingers in Brandon Duhaime and Taylor Raddysh.
