Washington Capitals cut three prospects from their training camp roster ahead of fourth preseason game

"The Washington Capitals have made three more cuts to their training camp roster. After cutting eight players this past weekend, the team's roster at camp has now been reduced to 39 players. All three cuts made Tuesday morning will see prospects either sent directly to the AHL's Hershey Bears or returned to their junior teams. Players sent back to junior Terik Parascak, F (Prince George Cougars, WHL)"

"The 19-year-old Parascak must be returned to the WHL as the NHL-CHL transfer agreement remains intact for at least one more year. The agreement requires an NHL team to return a drafted CHL prospect to their junior team if the player is not on the NHL's active roster at the start of the season, provided they are under 20 years old and haven't played four full junior seasons."

"In the recently renewed CBA, set to officially kick in next season, a provision will allow NHL teams to send one 19-year-old CHL player to the AHL per season. The Capitals are headed to Columbus on Tuesday night to play their fourth preseason game against the Blue Jackets. The club will then play two more preseason games, both at Capital One Arena, culminating with an October 4 rematch against the Blue Jackets."

The Washington Capitals reduced their training camp roster by three players, bringing the camp total to 39 after earlier cuts. One prospect, Terik Parascak, was returned to his WHL team while other prospects were assigned to the Hershey Bears in the AHL. Parascak, who is 19, must go back under the NHL-CHL transfer agreement that requires drafted CHL players under 20 to return to juniors if not on the NHL roster. The recently renewed CBA will allow one 19-year-old CHL player to join the AHL next season. The Capitals play additional preseason games before the October roster deadline and October 8 season opener.
