The Caps enter the day holding eight picks over the seven-round draft, including the 23rd selection overall, and a pair of fifth-rounders. Here’s an overview of their picks:
Round | Selection(s) |
1 | 23 |
2 | 53 |
3 | 84 |
4 | 114 |
5 | 127, 144 |
6 | 174 |
7 | 204 |
Of course, if recent history is any indication, they may not be holding onto all of those picks, as they’ve made a draft-day trade in each of the past five years:
- June 22, 2012: Caps acquired Mike Ribeiro from Dallas for Cody Eakin and a 2nd round pick (Mike Winther) in the 2012 NHL Draft.
- June 24, 2011: Caps acquired Troy Brouwer from Chicago for a 1st round pick (Phillip Danault) in the 2011 Entry Draft.
- June 26, 2010: Caps acquired a 4th round pick (Philipp Grubauer) in the 2010 Entry Draft from Toronto for a 4th round pick (Petter Granberg) and a 5th round pick (Daniel Brodin) in 2010.
- June 27, 2009: Caps acquired a 5th round pick (Caleb Herbert) in the 2010 Entry Draft from Phoenix for Sami Lepisto.
- June 20, 2008: Caps acquired a 1st round pick in the 2008 Entry Draft (John Carlson) from Philadelphia for Steve Eminger and a 3rd round pick in the 2008 Entry Draft (Jacob Deserres).
