Clymer Demoted

The opening night roster is coming into shape as the Caps resigned Fleischmann and now we learn that Ben "What A" Clymer has been demoted to Hershey. Jame Pollock also was reassigned to Hershey too.

I don't expect Clymer to last long down there. Either a younger player will flame out after the regular season starts (don't be too surprised if it's David Steckel or Fleischmann) and Clymer will return or the Caps will outright trade him somewhere else. I don't think the Caps will let him sit out a two year $2 million+ contract in Hershey.
