Nothing major to report, but:

Brandon Sugden has signed with the Hershey Bears and has a camp invite with the Washington Capitals. It is expected that he’ll appear in at least on preseason game.
Sugden, 31, played for the Hartford Wolf Pack last season. His season started off with some drama after the Wolf Pack’s parent club, the New York Rangers, were one of three teams that blocked Sugar from returning to the NHL when the rival New York Islanders invited him to Camp. The teams were persuaded to lift their block by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly. Sugden went on to attend Isles camp, but did not sign with the club.
The Capitals are currently without a heavyweight. Donald Brashear, the team fight leader for 2008-09, signed with the Rangers this offseason.
