The Washington Capitals wrapped up the NHL draft on Saturday by selecting three defensemen, meaning their scouting staff left suburban Miami having made only four selections, none of them forwards, during the two-day event.
They added Jonas Siegenthaler, who played in the top league in Switzerland last season, as well as Connor Hobbs and Colby Williams, a pair of teammates from Regina of the WHL.
Only once before — in 2011, when they did not select in the first three rounds — had the Capitals made only four selections in a draft.
