Capitals’ Waivers Moves Unveil Startling Clues About Their 2025-26 NHL Roster Strategy
The number of extras for the positions is currently set to swap this year. However, that’s assuming that both injured defenders do end up on injured reserve. If just one of them is placed on IR, Ivan Miroshnichenko could still be sent down to the Bears at any point over the next day, as he’s waivers exempt.
Even if they do both end up on IR, the same scenario could occur if the Capitals decide they want to stick with eight defenders. Miroshnichenko would be freely moved down, allowing them to recall a player from Hershey.
