5 reasons Ryan Leonard will take the Capitals to the Stanley Cup

#2 Competitive edge

I can talk a little about his competitive edge but you’ll really see it on display in the next slide.

Here’s Pronman’s thoughts on the Leonard selection:

"Leonard is a very good all-around and competitive forward. He’s not dynamic with the puck, but he has excellent skill and scoring ability as well. What I think Washington fans will also like is how physically advanced he is, and there is potential for him to be in Washington in two to three years due to that and his complete game."

In two years from now Ovechkin should be already past Wayne Gretzky for number one in goal scoring. Maybe they get one more kick at the can before the franchise transitions to the post Ovi era.
