The Washington Capitals reimagined as Washington Nationals players

Ladies and gentlemen, happy Scherzday.

The Washington Nationals will finally open their season against the Atlanta Braves at 4:05 PM after seeing its first four games of the season postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

With the baseball season upon us, it got us thinking. What positions would Capitals players play if they were on the Nationals and what would their pros and cons be?

Here’s what KP8 Design and I came up with.

Alex Ovechkin

Zdeno Chara

Tom Wilson

Evgeny Kuznetsov

Dmitry Orlov

Ilya Samsonov

Nicklas Backstrom

Nick Jensen

Vitek Vanecek

John Carlson

Peter Laviolette

Jakub Vrana

Ted Leonsis


In all seriousness, good luck to the Nationals today. And to get you primed for the first pitch, here is the Nats’ lineup and their updated roster.
