2025/06/05

In today’s episode of Locked On Capitals, we break down three big offseason storylines surrounding the Washington Capitals. First, we examine whether Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi—who’s reportedly on the trade block after rejecting a long-term extension—fits into Washington’s plans. While Rossi’s age, two-way skill, and offensive upside match what the Capitals are seeking, his addition would crowd an already deep center group and potentially block young talent like Connor McMichael and Hendrix

As the Washington Capitals prepare for the 2025–26 NHL season, they return with a remarkably stable roster — all 20 NHL spots are already under contract heading into training camp. While this continuity speaks to management’s confidence, it also leaves limited room for surprises. The forward lines are mostly set, with Alex Ovechkin chasing historic milestones and Pierre-Luc Dubois poised for a full second season in D.C. after a strong debut. The key questions surround a few open winger slots, where

Is 2025/2026 season going to be the last for Capitals star Alex Ovechkin? The Washington Capitals head into the 2024–25 season with a crowded center depth chart and a major question at third-line center. Hendrix Lapierre is looking to rebound after a disappointing stint in the NHL last year, while Pierre-Luc Dubois is coming off a resurgent season that solidified him as Washington’s No. 1 center. With Dylan Strome likely holding down the second line and Nic Dowd entrenched on the fourth, Lapierre
