#3 Vincent Iorio
One player who you could see called up to the Capitals as soon as this season is Vincent Iorio. Here’s what the Caps Rookie Camp guide said about the defenseman:
"Iorio, the Capitals’ second-round choice, 55th overall, in the 2021 NHL Draft, recorded 22 points (2g, 20a) in 63 regular- season games with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL) in 2022-23. The Coquitlam, British Columbia native ranked second among Hershey defensemen in assists, points, games played, shots (86) and plus/minus rating (+17). In 15 Calder Cup Playoff games, Iorio registered five points (1g, 4a), including an assist in Game 7 of the Calder Cup Finals at Coachella Valley. Iorio, who also appeared in three games with Washington last season, made his NHL debut and recorded his first career point on March 4 against the San Jose Sharks."
