  • Ilya Samsonov conducted a training session for youth goalies in his hometown of Magnitogorsk, Russia yesterday. [NoVa Caps]
  • While the Caps’ veterans are unlikely to avoid a drop-off, there are plenty of ways to keep it from impacting the team too much as a whole. [NBCSW]
  • Washington does not have the deepest prospect pool in the league, but there are certainly other prospects worth watching this year other than Connor McMichael. [S+S]
  • Free agent signings are not always a slam dunk, and every team in the league has at least one real stinker during the cap era. [Bleacher Report]
  • Former Rangers’ GM Jeff Gorton spoke on the incident between Tom Wilson and Artemi Panarin last season and everything that followed. [NoVa Caps]
  • Finally, happy 60th birthday to Dave Tippett!
