The Washington Capitals enter the 2025 NHL Draft in a good spot, with five selections to pick and some items to check off on their to-do list. Washington has one pick in each of the first five rounds, selecting 27th, 37th, 73rd, 123rd and 155th overall.

The Washington Capitals are in for a busy weekend, as they and 31 other teams make moves at the 2025 NHL Draft. It’s the league’s first decentralized draft (excluding the remote draft due to COVID-19). All of the prospects will be in Los Angeles, California, while teams will remain back in their home cities to make their selections. Washington owns five selections in this year’s draft, with the 27th, 37th, 73rd, 123rd and 155th overall picks.

RT @sammisilber: How much did T.J. Oshie want to be a Washington Capital? So much that he ran to the team bathroom, grabbed a paper towel…

RT @sammisilber: T.J. Oshie couldn’t move on the morning of his 1,000th NHL game. But still, he found a way to play. Just another example…

What made T.J. Oshie… well, T.J. Oshie? Long road trips through Washington State, a life changing move to Warroad and a phone call from GM Brian MacLellan are just parts of an incredible hockey journey. No. 77’s road to being a legend, for DC Backcheck: https://t.co/YCehjejqwN https://t.co/VyAGU7xHTD
