More Capitals prospects to look forward to in 2024-25
Henrik Rybinski
He's another two time Calder Cup champion at 23 years old. He had a similar regular season point total to his rookie year in his second season with five goals and 11 assists in 52 games but was even better in the Calder Cup playoffs.
The six foot one, 186 foot pound winger added five goals including the game winning goal in his AHL playoff debut and added four assists for nine pionts in 19 games along with a team leading plus seven rating.
He was drafted by Florida in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and signed as a free agent with the Caps in 2022 after a successful career with the Seattle Thunderbirds and Medicine Hat Tigers. The Vancouver native added 50 goals and 126 assists over five WHL seasons and helped the thunderbirds reach the WHL championship series in 2022.
Rybinski's goal was almost lacrosse style and it totally faked out the goalie. Those are the types of goals you like to see no matter what level of hockey you play. It's a hockey player making a hockey play. That's what you need to succeed in the organization. And he's got that roar in him no pun intended.
