Chesley's season with the Golden Gophers abruptly ended following a first-round upset defeat by Massachusetts. The 21-year-old defenseman had a solid season, recording 20 points in 40 games. This defeat has positioned him to sign an entry-level contract with the Capitals, especially with four of his teammates leaving for NHL teams. Having participated in Capitals development camps and a successful World Juniors, Chesley now faces a choice: sign with the Capitals and potentially join the AHL's Hershey Bears, or return for his senior year at Minnesota.
After a disappointing end to the NCAA tournament for Minnesota, Capitals prospect Ryan Chesley is now in position to sign his entry-level contract.
