## Resource

The Washington Capitals have finalized their 2026-27 opening-night roster, and this isn't simply a collection of new names. It's a different kind of team. Dan Holmi breaks down what Jordan Kyrou, Alex Tuch and Boone Jenner bring to Washington, why Alex Ovechkin's role could look different at 41, how Ryan Leonard, Ilya Protas and Cole Hutson represent the next generation, and what Jonny Brodzinski clearing waivers and heading to Hershey says about the final roster decisions.
