Another Caps player who we all know that’s young who’s making a big impact with the Hershey Bears is Joe Snively. In 32 AHL regular season games he had nine goals and 18 assists for 27 points.

In seven Calder Cup playoff games he has one goal and six assists in a three way tie for the team lead in points with seven.

In 12 games with the Caps this season he has four points with two goals and two assists including a goal in the season finale against the New Jersey Devils.

Like Protas, Snively can be big on the bottom six and be a good in house youth option. Unlike Protas, Snively provides the speed. But Protas ain’t too far behind.

Snively’s six assists lead the team this postseason. It should be interesting to see how this spring fuels him for training camp.
