The Washington Capitals had another successful draft and look to be building on the future both now in the quick retool and in the future for the post Alex Ovechkin era.
They made six selections, keeping their original five and making a trade in the final round.
First they selected Ryan Leonard which was the right call among players available when the Caps were on the clock at eighth. It was their highest pick since 2007 and they used it to select the right winger.
He’s a gamer at six foot and 190 pounds.
