#4 Dmitri Khristich

Dmitri Khrisitich was selected in the sixth round at 120th overall in 1988. His first season saw him score 13 goals and add 14 assists for 27 points in 1990-91. His second season was his best season where he scored 36 goals and added 37 assists for 73 points.

In 1992-93 his season began with a broken foot injury. Despite this, he scored 31 goals and added 35 assists for 66 points. He added two goals and five assists in the playoffs.

The next year he added 29 goals and 29 assists for 58 points and added two goals and two assists when the Capitals finally took down the Pittsburgh Penguins in the playoffs. He followed that up with 12 goals and 14 assists for 26 points in what turned out to be his final season in Washington.

In July of 1995, he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings, officially ending his time in D.C Before there was Ovechkin, Khristich was the Russian goal scorer and he just so happened to wear the number eight. He played in 811 games for the Washington Capitals, Los Angeles Kings, Boston Bruins, and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Khristich finished his Capitals career playing in 419 games over seven seasons scoring 140 goals and adding 160 assists for 300 points. He was fun to watch just like Ovechkin.
