The only farm question that matters here

Washington already has a national hockey press. The DMV question in August is narrower: which Hershey names are close enough to take a shift at Capital One Arena once camp opens — and which ones are just prospect-list filler.

Sport DMV will treat call-ups as a downtown story, not a prospect-rank essay. If a player is on the Metro to Gallery Place, that’s the note. If they’re still in Hershey, we’ll say so.

What we won’t do

Invent a depth chart. Preview a Cup window. Recap a game we didn’t see.

The Capitals page keeps the arena-night piece and the season-ticket pulse. This one is the pipeline.
