In a short period of time, the Caps have acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois, Brandon Duhaime, and Andrew Mangiapane for the offense, as well as Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy for the defense.
As a result, some of the Capitals' prospects may not have a significant role in the offensive lineup, and the general manager might consider exploring the market for players like Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre.
Connor McMichael, a first-round pick in 2019, has just had the best season of his young career with 18 goals.
