Washington Capitals: ranking the top-ten prospects in their system
Rookie tournaments and training camps around the National Hockey League are set to get underway in about two weeks from now. That means it's time to take a look at the top-ten prospects on each of the 32 teams.
Multiple different sources use different criteria for their rankings as to what players classify as a prospect. For my lists, I will be using the following two requirements:
- A player is considered a prospect if: he has played less than 25 NHL games in one campaign.
- Less than 50 NHL games total in their career.
Next team up is the Washington Capitals. Let's take a look at the ten best prospects in their system, starting with number ten and counting down to number one.
