#75 Jackson Blake

In the third round at 75th overall the Capitals will select Jackson Blake who’s a right winger from Eden Prairie High School in the US. The Caps acquired this pick from the New Jersey Devils via the Arizona Coyotes in the Jonas Siegenthaler trade.

Elite Prospects had this to say about Blake:

"A better player in-tight than in open-ice, Blake combines his puck-handling and playmaking to great effect. In-tight, he adjusts his puck positioning to hook and slip passes through pressure, and dekes through defenders without entering a glide. He pre-scans before every touch, then creativity connects with teammates through defenders, leads them into space with area passes, and works give-and-goes."

#119 Kalle Vaisanen

In the fourth round at 119th overall, the Capitals will select Kalle Vaisanen who’s a left winger from TPS in Finland. He recorded 30 points in 27 games last season with nine goals and 21 assists. He’s got a good height at six foot four and 181 pounds. He’s expected to join TPS’ Liiga league next season.

Here’s what Elite Prospects said about Vaisanen:

"Brings a decent amount of physicality, Väisänen is primarily an effective playmaker with decent skill and speed."

That is three draft picks and now there are two more.
