CAPITALS PROSPECT EXPLOSION: Protas, Allen, Clarke & Thomas Lead Hershey Charge Toward NHL
Locked On Capitals - Daily Podcast On The Washington CapitalsAbout this episode
The Washington Capitals are seeing a surge in their prospect pipeline with a mix of high-end skill and redemption stories. Right wing Graeme Clarke brings proven AHL scoring and leadership to Hershey, while playmaking center Patrick Thomas enters the pro ranks after leading the OHL in assists with 104 points. Both players are expected to play key roles with the Bears this fall. Meanwhile, defenseman Cam Allen’s comeback season has turned heads as he prepares for his AHL debut following a personal and professional turnaround. And perhaps most exciting of all, 19-year-old right wing Ilya Protas lit up the OHL with 124 points, earning comparisons to his older brother Aliaksei while carving out his own NHL path. The future in D.C. is looking increasingly bright. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
