CAPS BRANCHES: Nathan Walker and Jaroslav Halak

The New York Rangers and Washington Capitals had a deal. It was the second day of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, and the Capitals had their eye on someone with the Hershey Bears. After 43 games on an AHL deal, Nathan Walker had five goals and six assists in his first professional season. It was the third round, Washington had no picks, New York had two.

Walker lasted just seven games for Washington in 2017 before roster competition forced the hand of general manager Brian MacLellan to waive him, trying to re-assign him to AHL Hershey.
