Former 1st Rounder Placed On Waivers
The Washington Capitals have placed former 1st Round Pick Lucas Johansen on waivers. Johansen is one of three available players for free today, along with Ryan Shea of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Jacob Bryson of the Buffalo Sabres.
Johansen, a defenseman, was selected 28th Overall by the Capitals in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Johansen has 1 point in 6 games for Washington this season. The move likely means D Ethan Bear, who is reportedly nearing a two-year deal with the Capitals, is close to joining the team.
Johansen has 9 Career NHL games, all with Washington, with 2 points. Johansen won the Calder Cup with AHL Hershey in 2023, with 2 Goals and 6 Points in 20 Games during their playoff run.
