How wasn’t Ilya Protas a 1st rounder?

The capitals are so set for the next couple years Ryan Leonard Ivan Miroshnichenko Cole Hutson Ilya Protas Andrew Cristall

What are your thoughts on the H1-B Visa program?

Love how all the replies don't realize you're not talking about Aliaksei but his younger clone. Can't believe teams let Wash get Aliaksei and then Ilya was sitting there and they let them do it AGAIN

@SJSharkz19 caps got both brothers and a Hutson. Yikes

Maybe because he wasn’t producing like a 1st rounder or projected to be a high impact player at the time? He took a massive step this year. I hate posts like these

hes insane. watch him play each nigh here in JR. great addition to the caps lineup

As if Washington got this guy too.

because dean letourneau went in the 1st round

Late bloomer. Isn’t he 24??

Rock the Red for years to come. C A P S caps caps caps

So weird, considering his brothers success and his numbers being comparable along the way
