#5 Nic Dowd

Nic Dowd centers the effective fourth line with the Caps. The Kraken made a mistake by not taking him but we will gladly have him back for another season in D.C. Dowd carries a cap hit of $750,000 so having an effective center for that cheap of a price is an effective bargain.

Dowd had a career high 11 goals and four assists for 15 points last season. He had a 46.79 Corsi For percentage and won 56.3 percent of his face offs.
