Waiver Move
On Thursday the Capitals got down to 27 players in camp by sending defensemen Sean Collins and Patrick McNeill and forward Chris Bourque to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League.
No immediate fantasy hockey value on waivers.
Line Change
Let's get interesting with line combinations. If Tuesday's practice was any indication, Chris Bourque is a serious candidate (even more serious than anyone thought) to fill the Capitals' final roster spot.
Bourque could make the roster as a spare forward. The former 2nd round pick of the Caps played all of last season away from the NHL, splitting seasons between the KHL and Swiss-A. This lineup change could just be giving their project a legitimate chance to succeed.
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have signed free agent left wing Chris Bourque to a one-year contract, vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today. In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
