Prospect Grade: 6.0 D  (About Prospect Grades)

History

Dovgan was the center of some controversy when the Caps selected him with their seventh-round pick at the 2005 draft. Claiming that they had proof that his age made him eligible that year rather than the next, the Caps eventually won their case and added a player they believed would have been a surefire second-rounder in 2006.

The Caps signed him to a three-year entry-level deal in late 2006.

2007-08: Headed back to Europe. 

Talent Analysis

Dovgan is a tall, strong defender that is of the stay-at-home variety. Unlike most European players, Dovgan, a Russian native, likes and initiates physical contact. He is a fearsome competitor who can be counted on to give his best effort on every shift.
