After all of the trades and signings, the Caps still have a hand-full of free agents who have something to play for down the stretch: Salaries, or even careers. They might not even be in Washington’s plans, but if they want to keep playing hockey, they’ve got to show something in these games.
Conor Sheary is making $1.5 million this year. He’s 30 years old and I can’t see the Capitals resigning him, especially because of his lack of offensive output lately. His last goal was Jan. 24 against Colorado. His play as of late couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Caps and it’s one (of several) reasons the team has been struggling.
