Chesley is expected to sign a three-year, entry-level contract with the Capitals, the team announced Monday.
ANALYSIS
Chesley agreed to an amateur tryout with AHL Hershey and will report to the minor-league club to start.

Selected by the Caps in the second round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, Chesley could make his NHL debut at some point next year but figures to spend the bulk of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.
