Bobby Nardella

Bobby Nardella loaned to Swedish Hockey League’s Djurgardens IF for 2020-21 season

Capitals defense prospect Bobby Nardella is the latest Caps prospect to be loaned overseas for the upcoming season as he is headed to Djurgardens IF of the Swedish Hockey League.

Nardella, who was signed as a college free agent by the Caps in April of 2019, has played 43 games for the Hershey Bears over the course of the last two seasons. Unlike their other recent loaning of prospects, the Caps did not put any conditional language in their press release on the loaning of Nardella that indicates he will be called back for training camp so we are to believe that this is a full season loan.

Capitals sign defenseman Bobby Nardella to two-year entry-level contract

On Friday, the Washington Capitals announced they had signed Notre Dame defenseman Bobby Nardella to a two-year entry-level contract beginning next season.

Nardella was named Notre Dame’s rookie of the year as a freshman and most recently was a Hobey Baker award nominee. The 5’10”, 180 pound defenseman received serious attention from at least three NHL teams, as reported by the Athletic’s Chris Kuc. Nardella was in attendance at Capital One Arena on Thursday night during the Capital’s division-clinching win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Nardella will likely follow the path of the Capitals’ most recent free agent college signing, Joe Snively, and join the AHL’s Hershey Bears on an amateur try-out contract.
