Minnesota State announced today that junior forward Trevor Bruess has signed with the Washington Capitals. He'll finish out the season with the Capitals AHL affiliate Hershey Bears.

Bruess is a talented player, but ran into some discipline problems that saw him sit out three games in the second half of the season because of suspension. He definitely developed a reputation with officials around the league, and it's probably best for all parties involved that Bruess moves on and gets a fresh start in a new league.
