With 49 days until the Washington Capitals enter season 50, we have three burning questions. Of course an important topic is the health and status of T.J. Oshie but what about the others?
The Bears from Hershey?
No pun intended but the Caps barely made the playoffs. But getting to the party as we all know requires something to prove. That's what the Bears did up in Hershey winning back to back Calder Cups. Guys like Hendrix Lapierre and Ivan Miroshnichenko have impressed and the team brass strongly believes they could possibly make the team out of training camp.
But then things got real interesting when the team acquired Jakub Vrana for a PTO. After the success of Sonny Milano, now there's competition there as well. But both players have the skill so that's an early camp battle to watch.
There's two years left on the Alex Ovechkin contract so making the team is always imperitive for that chance to be a part of NHL history. And it would be ideal for the team to continue to get better even after the Ovi era to keep the next 50 years bright as well. Spencer Carbery we believe knows what he's doing.
