Fansided NHL Mock Draft Pick 11 – Washington Capitals

Capitals Outsider, picking for the Washington Capitals, select centre Radek Faksa from the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL.

SenShot’s Take

Faksa was one of the breakout players of 2012.  A rookie for the Kitchener Rangers, he led all first year players with 66 points (29 goals) in 62 games.  He was a member of the Czech Republic team in the World Juniors as a 17 year old and gained notice despite seeing limited action.

Faksa could end up being the steal of the draft and goes to a Washington club that would suit his top end skill level.
