Who will make the Washington Capitals roster this fall? Which young player is ready for primetime?

In this episode of Locked on Capitals I talk about this Capitals aging roster the talk around the league that this team need to get younger and faster. How do they achieve that while still keeping the veteran core together. The caps only have several years of Alex Ovechkin and the "rock the red" era caps. Brian Maclellan made some big moves during free agency signing: Darcy Kuemper, Dylan Strome and Connor Brown to help solidify the Capitals lineup. The Capitals need to get younger but how do they do it when they keep signing or re-signing older players.

Look for these players to fight for a spot on this season's Capitals lineup:

Connor McMichael, center. Alexander Alexeyev, defenseman. Lucas Johansen, defenseman. Aliaksei Protas, forward. Hendrix Lapierre, center
