Wolski has been moved up to the first line to play with Backstrom and Oveckin. The Capitals need a spark and they hop that this move might provide that spark.
Washington signed Wojtek Wolski to a one-year deal worth $600,000, giving them additional depth up front and perhaps a second-line winger.
It's a low-risk move for both the Caps and Wolski that could pay out huge dividends. Wolski has shown flashes of his offensive ability in the past but injuries have limited his output in recent years. If Wolski finds himself fortunate enough to be at RW on the Caps' top line, he could be a great FA pick up.
#NYR According to AHL website, both Jeff Woywitka and Wojtek Wolski have sent to CT Whale on AHL conditioning assignment
Wolski has been relegated to the bench with the Rangers at full strength. The team likely keeps him on the team in order to maintain depth but he has no fantasy hockey value.
Torts says Wojtek Wolski "on our club" right now because forwards are banged up
The team wants to put Wolski in the minors for a conditioning stint but need an extra forward. Safe to assume he's not in the team's plans as long as they remain healthy.
Wolski once again looks like the odd-man out on the Rangers front-end. He has three assists through his first nine games, taking only 11 shots on goal.
