Washington Capitals Signed Josh Dunne | Hidden Bottom-Six Gem or Hershey Depth? Training Camp Battle Begins
Episode 1504
Friday, 24 July, 2026
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.
