Knuble Should Make Power Play Even More Dangerous

Washington Capitals Hockey

While the Capitals were virtually non existent in the Free Agent market in the offseason, their one major pick-up was an excellent one. Mike Knuble, was picked up from the Philadelphia Flyers and should make one of the top Power Play units in the league even more potent. For while the Capitals have a few players that are willing and able to put the puck on net, the one major thing that they have lacked is the big physical player that is willing to stand in front of the net, take a beating and be in position to put any rebounds on the net. While Chris Clark filled that role well a couple of years ago, injuries have kept him from playing much the last couple of years, and the Capitals just don't know what Clark has left in him. In any event, while Knuble is 37, he has been a workhorse for Philadelphia the last few years, and will be a great addition to the Caps on either the first or second line, and especially valuable on the P.P.
