"The only player claimed across the NHL was former Capitals goaltender Pheonix Copley, who was snatched up by the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Los Angeles Kings. The four Capitals who cleared are set to be important players for Hershey this season. Both Trineyev and Rybinski were members of the Bears' back-to-back Calder Cup champion teams in 2023 and 2024, and had career years last season."
"Trineyev returns to Hershey after three preseason games for the Caps this fall, scoring one goal, firing five shots, and throwing six hits. Rybinski featured in two preseason games for the Caps in September, averaging 14:07 of ice time. Clarke and Belpedio were signed to NHL deals by the Capitals over the summer. Both players are set to begin their first years in the team's organization, providing Hershey with much-needed prior AHL experience."
Four Washington Capitals players — forwards Bogdan Trineyev, Henrik Rybinski, Graeme Clarke and defenseman Louie Belpedio — cleared NHL waivers and are eligible to be assigned to the Hershey Bears. Hershey opened its first training camp under new head coach Derek King and won its first preseason game 5-1 over the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Trineyev and Rybinski were members of Hershey's back-to-back Calder Cup teams in 2023 and 2024 and had career years last season. Trineyev played three preseason games for Washington, while Rybinski averaged 14:07 in two games. The Capitals also loaned prospect goaltender Garin Bjorklund to Hershey and must trim their roster to 23 players by October 7, currently carrying 33 players.
