このコンテンツについて
In this episode of Locked On Capitals, we explore three high-profile NHL free agents — Sam Bennett, Brock Boeser, and Aaron Ekblad — and evaluate how each could fit into the Washington Capitals' evolving roster. Sam Bennett brings grit, versatility, and playoff intensity to a potential third-line center role, which could complement Connor McMichael’s skillset and balance the team’s depth down the middle. Boeser would address the Capitals’ pressing need for secondary scoring, potentially becoming a top-six sniper alongside Dylan Strome or Pierre-Luc Dubois while easing pressure on aging star Alexander Ovechkin. Both forwards would require cap maneuvering, potentially prompting Washington to move mid-tier contracts or depth pieces.
Meanwhile, Aaron Ekblad presents an opportunity for a true top-pairing, two-way defenseman to anchor the blue line alongside emerging talents like Rasmus Sandin and Martin Fehérváry. With John Carlson aging and Jakob Chychrun more offense-focused, Ekblad could provide the shutdown presence and leadership Washington needs to compete in the East. However, signing or trading for any of these players would likely force GM Brian MacLellan to make tough decisions, including letting go of expiring contracts or packaging draft capital. This episode maps out not just who fits where — but how Washington could actually pull it off.
