Washington Capitals: Top 25 best draft picks in team history

The Washington Capitals have drafted pretty good for the most part in their 47 year history. They have drafted a total of 459 selections. Here are what we believe are the top 25.

To go though this list we searched high and we searched low for names that we thought would fit in perfectly for this slideshow. These guys rose to the occasion when they were Capitals and if they only played in D.C. for a bit also made impacts on other teams.

I tried my best to include players from every generation so that way Caps fans young and old could possibly find their favorites on here.

#25 Karl Alzner

Karl Alzner was an ironman during his time with the Capitals. He was drafted in the first round at sixth overall in the 2007 NHL Draft. He made it to the big club in 2008-09, appearing in 30 games but spending the majority of the Eason with the Hershey Bears.

Alzner then earned a regular role with the Caps at the beginning of the 2010-11 season and set a franchise record for consecutive games played with 423, surpassing the mark set by Bobby Carpenter. That was achieved on Jan. 27, 2016.

Alzner recorded 117 points in 591 career games with the Capitals with 19 goals and 98 assists.
