Hunter won't be ready for primetime this year with the Capitals, but I think if the Capitals the time to develop him, his future is bright.

Hunter Shepard, 24, is a two-time All-American (first team in 2018-19, and second team in 2019-20), Two-time NCHC Goaltender of the Year (2018-19 and 2019-20), Three-time Mike Richter Award Finalist, and a Three-time All-NCHC selection. Hunter owns the NCAA record for consecutive starts with 115, long run that stretched between October 21, 2017 and March 7, 2020.

Hunter may take a few years to find his spot on the Capitals. I think he is poised to be a number one netminder in the NHL in a few years.
