Top 3 players Capitals should give PTO contracts to

Unsigned veteran players can earn a contract by an NHL team by signing a professional tryout contract or a PTO. The Washington Capitals have an all but set roster but if they were to sign anybody to a PTO, who are the best three that are available.

You might remember Alex Chiasson. He joined the Caps by making the team out of training camp after singing a PTO in 2017. We all know what happened that season and Chiasson’s goal in Game 6 in Pittsburgh helped make all that spring magic happen.

So if the Caps were to sign anybody to a PTO, who should they pick?

#3 Jay Beagle

We all miss him. Jay Beagle is by far the nicest athlete that ever suited up for the Capitals. And he’s so old fashioned as he doesn’t even have an iPhone or is on social media.

Beagle’s previous cap hit was $3 million. And he’s excellent on face offs. After spending three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, Beagle played with the Arizona Coyotes last season.

He didn’t play much last season but did appear in 32 games and had a goal and an assist for two points. Those numbers would go up if the Caps were to decide on having a reunion with their Stanley Cup champion.
