Now that former Capitals defenseman Calle Johansson has joined Adam Oates staff as an assistant coach, who will be named as the clubs second assistant?
Its probably fair to say that every player attending the Capitals development camp this week has overcome an obstacle or two on their way to getting invited to Kettler Capitals Iceplex.
Now that Jim Johnson has left the Capitals for an assistant coaching job with the San Jose Sharks, Adam Oates is officially a head coach without two assistants.
Adam Oates said he felt a few butterflies when he stepped onto the ice Monday wearing his new Capitals warmups and baseball cap, but quickly settled into his role as a first-time head coach.
The Shane Doan watch is on, but dont expect the Capitals to be on the short list of NHL teams the Coyotes free-agent captain would be willing to sign with if he chooses not to return to Phoenix.
