Totally agree with comments around the 20 minute mark ... NHL Expansion drafts were completely watered down by the time the Washington Capitals entered the league. WHA and all the teams didn't leave any high level NHL talent available. It would have been interesting to see the Montreal Canadiens' farm club (Nova Scotia Voyageurs) compete against the Cap's initial club. Honestly, the Capitals might have been close to being the 3rd or 4th best club in the AHL.
