Ethen Frank changed the conversation in Washington. The undrafted forward went from a Hershey success story to a legitimate NHL contributor, finishing the 2025-26 season with 12 goals, 24 points, elite speed, and one of the most impressive breakout performances on the Capitals roster. In this episode of Locked On Capitals, we break down how Frank became one of Washington's most dangerous depth scorers, why his 97th percentile skating ability makes him unique, and what his underlying numbers reveal about his offensive impact. But the biggest question now is what comes next. After signing a two-year extension and earning a bigger role, what should the Capitals expect from Ethen Frank in 2026-27? Can he become a consistent middle-six contributor? Can he improve defensively? Can his speed and finishing ability force Washington to keep him in the lineup despite a crowded roster? We break down the breakout season, the next development step, and why Ethen Frank could become one of the most important internal growth stories for the Capitals heading into 2026-27.

The Washington Capitals made one of their biggest free-agent splashes by signing Boone Jenner to a four-year, $23 million contract—but was it the right move? In today's episode of Locked On Capitals, we break down every angle of the deal. Why did Chris Patrick target Jenner? Why wasn't Columbus willing to match four years? Is the contract an overpay, or is Washington making the right bet while its Stanley Cup window remains open? We'll examine Jenner's contract, his fit in the Capitals lineup, the team's remaining salary cap space, and why analysts from Daily Faceoff and The Hockey News are split on the signing. Plus, we'll explain why this move says more about Washington's championship ambitions than Boone Jenner himself. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Washington Capitals continue to reshape their roster, adding forward Josh Dunne on a one-year contract—but what does this move really mean for Washington's Stanley Cup aspirations? On today's episode of Locked On Capitals, we break down why the Capitals targeted the 6-foot-4 center, what he brings to Spencer Carbery's system, and whether this signing is more significant than it first appears. We dive into Dunne's NHL and AHL track record, his defensive strengths, faceoff ability, physical style of play, and the advanced analytics that explain why teams continue to give him opportunities despite limited offensive production. We also discuss how he fits into an increasingly crowded forward group following Washington's aggressive offseason. Finally, we examine the biggest question heading into training camp: Can Josh Dunne earn a spot on the Capitals' opening-night roster, or is Hershey the more likely destination? With roster spots at a premium and the Capitals chasing another Stanley Cup while maximizing Alex Ovechkin's championship window, every depth battle matters. In this episode: Why the Capitals signed Josh Dunne What the analytics reveal about his game How he fits into Spencer Carbery's lineup The competition for the final bottom-six roster spots Washington vs. Hershey: Predicting Dunne's 2026-27 season Subscribe to Locked On Capitals for daily Washington Capitals news, roster analysis, prospect updates, trade rumors, free agency coverage, and everything surrounding Alex Ovechkin, Spencer Carbery, and the Capitals' pursuit of another Stanley Cup.
