Clay Stevenson and Ethen Frank have successfully cleared waivers and have been assigned to the AHL Hershey Bears. Both players had intriguing seasons, showcasing their skills but ultimately not securing spots on the NHL roster. Stevenson's time in the AHL will be vital for further development as he looks to impress the Capitals' coaching staff. His performance in goal can potentially position him for a recall in case of injuries or other roster moves.
Ethen Frank, known for his offensive prowess, aims to make a significant impact as a forward with the Bears. After a strong showing last season in the minors, Frank hopes to be a reliable offensive threat and possibly earn an opportunity to play in the NHL later in the season. With both players now in the AHL, fans should keep a close watch on their progress and contributions.
This transition also reflects the Capitals’ strategic approach to building their roster. By sending down Stevenson and Frank, the organization retains depth and allows its young talents to continue developing. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these players evolve and if they can force their way back to the big league, which remains their ultimate goal.
