After Washington Capitals forward Sheldon Rempal cleared waivers, the Capitals are accommodating his desire to go back and play professional hockey overseas.
It looks more and more like the professional hockey career of Washington Capitals forward Sheldon Rempal in North America could be coming to an end.
The Capitals placed him on waivers and he cleared; now, per team analyst Tarik El-Bashir, it was for purposes of contract termination so that he could pursue other opportunities overseas.
This move is for the purpose of contract termination. The #ALLCAPS accommodated the player's desire to pursue opportunities overseas.
So far this year with the AHL's Hershey Bears, Rempal has 2 points (1G, 1A).
The Capitals Were Impressed by Rempal's Training Camp
The Capitals were impressed by Rempal during training camp, as head coach Spencer Carbery said that not only was he all over the puck but that he could easily play in the NHL tomorrow.
He was tremendous in training camp. I thought he was outstanding in the practices, both exhibition games. We had him slated to play one exhibition game. We changed that plan because of the way that he played in Columbus. Seven shots. He was all around the puck, and I thought he was good again last night as well. He has every argument to say that he could play in the NHL tomorrow. - Spencer Carbery
Rempal has played in 21 career NHL games and has 3 points (2G, 1A). He played last year in the KHL with Ufa Salavat Yulayev and had 61 points (31G, 30A) in 68 games.
