Capitals Youngsters on NHL.com

Robert Picarello provides a taste of things to come in DC on NHL.com, profiling several players in the Capitals’ youth movement. The focus is on Nicklas Backstrom (of course), Sami Lepisto, Patrick McNeill, Andrew Gordon, and Michal Neuvirth. While the article overlooks other intriguing prospects like Francois Bouchard, it’s a good snapshot of the impressive pipeline of young talent the team has built over the past few years.
The article also includes a photo of goaltender Michael Neuvirth; yes, he still looks a bit like Bjork — though thankfully he’s in a Caps sweater rather than, for example, a swan dress.

    I’m not sure why Bouchard is getting short changed. He has the potential to be a real good player.

    A quick read, but my take was that the writer focused on prospects already signed by the Caps; at this point, Bouchard is not signed.
