Let’s honor some of the Washington Capitals wings which were close to being in the top ten. Dino Cicarelli didn’t play long for the Washington Capitals, as he played just 223 games for them. However, Dino was an outstanding player. He ranked 11th in goals scored (112), 17th in assists (97), and 15th in points (209). Cicarelli is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Eric Fehr has quietly done an excellent job for the Washington Capitals. He was ranked 13th overall in our point system. The first round pick of the Washington Capitals ranks 13th in games played, 14th in goals scored, 19th in assists, 17th in points, and eighth in plus/minus.
Gaetan Duchesne ended up tied with our #10 pick in our point system. We decided to give our #10 pick the tiebreaker because Duchesne played in an heavy offense era (the 1980’s) and still wasn’t much of a scorer.
However, he was still a good player for the Washington Capitals. Craig Laughlin was a solid player for the Washington Capitals and plus he’s an awesome broadcaster, so that gets him some extra points. Alan May may not have been a productive forward, but he’s certainly one of the most beloved Washington Capitals forwards of all time.
Now that that’s out of the way let’s start our countdown of the Washington Capitals top ten wings in franchise history!
