Two Washington Capitals prospects to make NHL debuts this season

We can still expect a few prospects to make their Caps debuts this season. Starting with one of the only positives to come out of the 2014 season – Jakub Vrana. He struggled with injury in Hershey last season, his first in North America. However, he still put up 16 goals for 34 points in 36 games played. For a European skater, he is above-par in his transition to the smaller rink size and more physical playing style. Scouts praise him as a speedy winger who simply knows how to put the puck in the net. At this point in his development, it’s not unreasonable to expect an NHL debut to come sooner rather than later.
