Capitals 18-19
4 Caps:
I think the reason why Gersich was sent down is that they want to have him get a lot of ice time in Hershey, I am sure he will be on their top line so it should be good for his development. I don’t see Walker getting a lot of ice time with the Caps, he will be a spare forward at most just like O’Brien and Barber would be.

Walker doesnt bring much. Is he the type of player you want to plug in on your 4th line? Barber is a better all round player and is more versatile and LOB is a physical presence. I'd much rather have one of those guys fill in on the 4th line than Walker.

I dont reallybdisagree with Gersich being sent down. I dont think he is ready for the NHL fulltime. He is also a waiver exempt player so that may have been part of the decision.
