Washington Capitals: Top 10 right wings of all-time

#9 Alan May

We almost went with Jaromir Jagr on this list but we realized that wouldn’t sit too well with Caps fans. But this is a worthy replacement at number nine.

Alan May is a current studio analyst on NBC Sports Washington for their Capitals pregame and postgame shows. He gives great analysis and that comes from playing in the game when he was an impact player on the Caps.

In 1989 May was traded to Washington by the Los Angeles Kings for a fifth rounder. His first season saw him score seven goals and add 10 assists for 17 points.

He added four goals and six assists for 10 points his second season, six goals and nine assists for 15 points his third season and six goals and 10 assists for 16 points in his fourth season. The next year saw him score four goals and add seven assists for 11 points before he was traded to the Dallas Stars.

May spent most of his hockey days prior to Washington in the minors. It was his trade to the Capitals where he enjoyed a much bigger role. He wasn’t known for his goal scoring but rather his gritty, hard nosed play around the puck. He also helped the Caps reach the semifinals for the first time in 1990.
