Washington Capitals Retool Roster In Pursuit Of Cup: The Washington Capitals organization would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Radko Gudas, Corey Perry, Frederick Gaudreau, Brian Dumoulin, Noel Acciari, Mathieu Olivier, Luke Glendening, Andreas Englund, and Curtis Lazar for their invaluable contributions to our team. In particular, we would like to acknowledge Radko Gudas for his exceptional leadership and dedication during his five-year tenure with us. These players have played an integral role in our journey, and their efforts on and off the ice have not gone unnoticed. Although our season ended on a disappointing note with a loss to the Devils in the second round, we remain incredibly excited about the future. We are thrilled to welcome a new group of Capitals players who we believe can help us achieve our ultimate goal of winning the CDCGML cup. The additions of Adam Henrique, Mike Hoffman, and Tyler Johnson, who are seasoned veterans in the league, will undoubtedly bring firepower and versatility to our forward group. We eagerly anticipate the various line combinations that will enhance our lineup, especially within the bottom six forwards. Moreover, we are grateful that Alex Killorn, Stefan Noesen, and Miles Wood have chosen to return to our team, instilling us with great optimism for the upcoming season. Their commitment and presence will further strengthen our roster. On the defensive end, we have acquired Nikita Zadorov, Marc Staal, and Troy Stecher, who bring a wealth of experience that we believe will solidify our defense. With these additions, we aim to build a well-rounded squad capable of competing at the highest level. We would also like to extend our thanks to all the agents, managers, and executives who continuously contribute to making this league exceptional. Your efforts behind the scenes are invaluable to the success of our organization. Our biggest moves are most likely finished though we will still be active in shaping our AHL club. As we look ahead, the Washington Capitals remain committed to pursuing excellence both on and off the ice. We are determined to bring pride and joy to our fans, and with this renewed roster, we are confident in our ability to make a deep playoff run. Together, we will strive for greatness and create lasting memories for the entire Capitals community. Let's go Caps! Offseason Moves: Out: Frederick Gaudreau, Corey Perry, Brian Dumoulin, Radko Gudas, Noel Acciari, Mathieu Olivier, Luke Glendening, Curtis Lazar, Andreas Englund, Anton Khudobin, Alex Limoges, Simon Ryfors, Hunter Drew, Mikhail Berdin In: Adam Henrique, Mike Hoffman, Tyler Johnson, Nikita Zadorov, Marc Staal, Troy Stecher, Mikhail Abramov, Cole Reinhardt, Xavier Simoneau, Parker Ford, Aatu Jamsen, Sam Lipkin, William Trudeau, Tyrel Bauer, Brandon Bussi

@canuck2xtreme Can you please assign Marc Staal to the NHL roster and Troy Stecher to the AHL for now. Thank you

Injured Reserve: The Washington Capitals would like to place Ryan Ellis on the injured reserve where he is expected to remain for the entire seasons. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/flyers

Congrats @Mike Vanderhoek Good luck to the remaining teams

I thought I was May 4th. Sorry guys my bad!

@Sharpshooter Good series man. Some of your players had some great performances. If Colorado could have pulled off that game seven win I would have been feeling a lot more optimistic about my chances in round two. Washington Capitals Round 2 Lineup: Carter Verhaeghe - William Nylander - Stefan Noesen Miles Wood - Luke Glendening - Noel Acciari Pontus Holmberg - Curtis Lazar Ryan Suter - Justin Holl Ryan Shea - Radko Gudas

@Sergei Bobrovsky

Washington selects Jack Roslovic

I don't think that at this point on paper our team is as strong as @Mike Vanderhoek Devils. @Sharpshooter has some serious talent as well and could definitely beat me. But the CDCGML playoffs can be weird sometimes. It's not only about which teams advance but also how long a particular series goes. It's just fun to be in it while it lasts.

The Washington Capitals are proud to have won another division title and be entering the playoffs as a top 5 seed in the league. We are also very proud that for the first time in our franchises history we had three 40 goal scorers: Mark Scheifele, Carter Verhaeghe, and William Nylander. Lastly, we would like to congratulate William Nylander on breaking the franchises all-time single season scoring record with 87 points this year. The record was previously set back in 2009-10 before I was hired as GM by Alexander Semin with 84 points And during my tenure both Patrik Elias (2011-12) and Evgeny Kuznetsov (2021-22) had 78 point seasons. With all that being said, as usual we consider this season a championship or bust. We are entering the postseason as underdogs in our mind but if all goes right... you just never know. Washington Capitals 2023 Playoff Roster: Carter Verhaeghe - Mark Scheifele - William Nylander Alex Killorn - Frederick Gaudreau - Pierre Engvall Stefan Noesen - Noel Acciari - Logan O'Connor Miles Wood - Luke Glendening - Corey Perry Curtis Lazar - Pontus Holmberg Devon Toews - Justin Holl Brenden Dillon - John Klingberg Ryan Suter - Radko Gudas Zach Bogosian Andrei Vasilevskiy Oskari Salminen Black Aces: Mason Shaw(IR), Simon Ryfors, Kristian Vesalainen, Alex Limoges, Ryan Shea, Mikhail Berdin

Here!

Assignment: The Washington Capitals assign Oskari Salminen to the AHL. Call-up: The Washington Capitals call-up Anton Khudobin to the NHL roster.

The Washington Capitals would like to start by thanking @canuck2xtreme not only for his work during the deadline but for staying on top of updates consistently all season. I would also like to thank all the General Managers whom actively participated in the Trade Deadline. Even taking our two vacant organizations into consideration, I don't remember having such league wide activity. All you new GMs did amazing. With all that being said, the Caps are very excited for the playoffs. Our biggest move this year happened a couple months ago when we acquired Andrei Vasilevskiy. We wanted to keep our core intact this deadline but did make a few moves to reshuffle our bottom six. We added Noel Acciari, Logan O'Connor, Miles Wood, and Curtis Lazar We would like to thank the pieces going out for being amazing teammates in our organization. They will be missed and we wish them the best in their new opportunities. In: Noel Acciari, Logan O'Connor, Miles Wood, Curtis Lazar Out: Nic Dowd, Ryan Lomberg, Parker Kelly, Tanner Laczynski, Garrett Pilon, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th Obviously the ultimate goal is to win the CDCGML Cup and anything short of that is a failure for us at this point. We realize our odds aren't great this season but if things go right we do believe we have a path. It feels good to have an exciting team to watch that stands a chance once again this year.

What a debut!!!!!

We would like to thank Andrew Copp for his time and contribution to the Capitals organization. Originally one of our draft picks, Copp excelled and became the epitome of what we build our organization around. We wish him the best in Detroit. We would also like to thank Chad Ruhwedel for his time and services in Washington. He did a great job while he was here and we wish him the best moving forward. The Caps might not have the most talented defence group in the league but we know feel that we have a very reliable, veteran eight man group. Brenden Dillon and Ryan Suter give us two more players with a ton of experience in the playoffs. We are excited to welcome them to Washington in another pursuit for the coveted CDCGML cup.

Termination: The Washington Capitals would like to terminate the contracts of Arttu Ruotsalainen and Mikhail Berdin. Both players have signed in Europe and we wish them the best.

I'm not disputing that it is a rule. That was made clear to me. I'm just personally an advocate for changing the rule to align with NHL rules for next season. If I'm in the minority I'll take my player and shut my mouth - but I want to know if anyone agrees with me or if this rule is even clear to the rest of the league.

Apparently the rule in our league is that you can sign NHL players and they go directly to your AHL system without requiring waivers. I have disputed that I don't like this rule and would love to hear the opinion of the rest of the league. With that being said - Glendening will begin with my AHL club. @canuck2xtreme
