Ryan Leonard is still living with Pierre-Luc Dubois: 'I had to give him a warning the other day for dishes in the sink'

""Yeah, (Ryan's) still living with me," Dubois confirmed on Thursday, the Capitals' first day of training camp. "He's looking for a place. Told me he found a place for next year, so it's great. But still working on this year. It's fun to have him around. We talked a little bit during the summer, and then to have him back, it was like he never left, so it was really fun.""

""I've got to make the team first, then we'll go from there," Leonard observed."

""He's a little bit more involved than he was last year," Dubois said when asked if he has a chore chart for Leonard. "He's a little more comfortable now. I had to give him a warning the other day for dishes in the sink, but apart from that, he's helpful.""

Ryan Leonard, 20, returns to the Washington Capitals after signing his first professional contract and completing his sophomore year at Boston College. Leonard spent nine late-season NHL games last year and is living with veteran centerman Pierre-Luc Dubois during training camp while searching for longer-term housing. Leonard said his offseason plan depends on earning a roster spot. Dubois, in his ninth NHL season, describes Leonard as more comfortable and involved this year, notes small household hiccups like dishes, and appreciates Leonard's presence. The teammates contrast stylistically on-ice but benefit from their living arrangement and mentorship dynamic.
