As the 2025 NHL Draft approaches, the Washington Capitals, holding the 27th overall pick and five total selections, face potential offseason moves. Assistant GM Ross Mahoney acknowledged the possibility of trading their draft pick if a beneficial offer arises. Emphasizing a focus on developing young talent, Mahoney expressed a preference for keeping picks. However, president of hockey operations Brian MacLellan noted the team’s fewer roster holes this season, indicating that while changes may be smaller, there’s still an intent to enhance the squad based on existing player growth and performance.
Yeah, there's always a chance that a pick could get moved... if you're making a trade to acquire an asset that you think is going to improve your team...then by all means, you go with that.
This year, there's fewer holes. We've had some growth in young players. We have some players that are ready to take another step.
