Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Vincent Desharnais, the bruising defenseman who thrives on making opponents uncomfortable, just inked a four-year, $16.2M deal with the Washington Capitals — a move he called a no-brainer. After a breakout season with San Jose, where he led the league in hits and anchored the blue line with relentless physicality, Desharnais brings exactly what Washington needed: a tough, reliable presence who can protect the net and stir up trouble in the corners. Rising from a seventh-round pick to a cornerstone defenseman, he’s thrilled to finally have stability and a place to call home. Coach Spencer Carbery sees him as the perfect fit — a player who understands his identity and brings relentless energy. Desharnais is ready to defend his teammates, elevate his compete level, and help turn the Capitals into a scary, winning force this season.

Jacob MacDonald just signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Washington Capitals — and he’s not just another depth defenseman. After lighting up the AHL last season with 12 points in 17 games and leading all blueliners in points per game, he’s proving he’s a legitimate offensive force. The 2023 Eddie Shore Award winner, he shattered AHL history with 31 goals in a single season — a record for defensemen — and was a First All-Star. He’s also flashed NHL potential, scoring career highs with San Jose last year and now brings elite scoring ability to Washington’s blue line.
