The Caps look mostly the same, but are still ‘excited' for what's to come
As the dust settles on the busiest part of the NHL offseason — the draft and the most active stretch of free agency — the Washington Capitals are mostly the same team they were a month ago. That was largely the plan, General Manager Chris Patrick said in May, and Patrick stuck to his word. A year after the Capitals went big by trading for center Pierre-Luc Dubois, winger Andrew Mangiapane, defenseman Jakob Chychrun and goaltender Logan Thompson while adding defenseman Matt Roy and forwards Brandon Duhaime and Taylor Raddysh in free agency, it was a quiet week around Washington's offices.

Caps trade for a defenseman and add four players as the draft wraps up
On the second and final day of the NHL draft, the Washington Capitals selected four prospects and made a trade for an established player, bringing in defenseman Declan Chisholm from the Minnesota Wild. Saturday's trade doesn't rise to the level of the move they made on the second day of the draft last year, when they acquired goaltender Logan Thompson from Vegas, but Capitals General Manager Chris Patrick viewed it as an important depth move to position the Capitals for the start of free agency Tuesday. Chisholm, 25, is a restricted free agent who will need a new contract to remain with Washington.

Capitals Coach's Blunt Take on Alex Ovechkin's Possible Retirement
The Washington Capitals were eliminated from the postseason Thursday night after a 3-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 at Capital One Arena. The defeat ended a strong season that saw Washington top the Eastern Conference with 111 points, led by a strong combination of veterans and a new wave of young players. Advertisement Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov scored the game-winner with 1:59 left in regulation after receiving a pass from Sean Walker on a rush play. Capitals goalie Logan Thompson said he lost sight of the puck before Svechnikov's shot slipped through, taking the blame for the Game 5 loss. Washington tied the game in the first period on a goal from Anthony Beauvillier, but it was the last goal the team scored in the series. Seth Jarvis added an empty-netter for Carolina in the final seconds. Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, who turned 39 last September, scored once in five games during the series. 'I know this series, the stats won't be flattering,' Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said about Ovechkin's play. 'I thought 'O' was great in playoffs.' Advertisement Carbery was asked about a potential early retirement by Ovechkin following another early postseason ending after last season's first-round exit. 'My understanding is he's under contract," Carbery said. "So he'll be back next year.' Ovechkin is under contract through the end of the 2025-26 season as part of a five-year, $47.5 million extension signed in 2021.
