    Washington Capitals Prospect Rankings: Summer 2014

    With rookie camp upon us, RMNB presents the new edition of its semiannual prospect rankings.

    Prospect rankings factor in a player’s potential, his probability to reach his ceiling (including an assessment of that player’s adaptation to NHL’s style of play), and physical and mental maturity.

    The Caps prospect pool is considered top-heavy, with four Caps prospects ranked in top-50 league-wide by both Corey Pronman and NHL.com. However, there’s believed to be a significant drop-off in talent after that. While Capitals management has tried to make their prospect pool deeper, they’ve still got work to do. The Caps are considered thin at center in particular, underlined by auditioning their two top wingers for a center slot.

    Check out our rankings from this past winter.

    You can also take a look at other Caps prospect rankings by Jonathan Willis of Bleacher Report, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com, and Jason Lewis of Hockey’s Future. Japers Rink has a hybrid list of prospects and Caps players under 25 as well (Part I and Part II).
