Tough Decisions Coming for the Capitals

Finally, it seems like the Washington Capitals are getting healthy…well, at least for now. Three more players could have hit IR by the time you read that sentence. For now, though, it looks like Martin Fehervary, Anthony Mantha, Trevor van Reimsdyk, and Joel Edmundson should be back within a week, with Max Pacioretty not too far behind.

But with good news comes tough news: an NHL team can only hold 23 players on its roster. With everyone healthy, the Capitals would have 26 players, so three will need to be sent or removed one way or another. So who stays and who goes?
