Last summer Ribeiro was traded to the Washington Capitals and in this lockout shortened season his numbers did not seem to suffer, putting up 49 points in 48 games, which projected out to an 82 game season would give him 77 points. Ribeiro has been informed (much to the chagrin of his wife) he would not be offered an extension on his contract in Washington, which will make him a free agent this July 5th.
Ribeiro has become an offensive power-house, often times choosing to dish the puck rather than shoot and is excellent on the power play as well as in shootouts. He has patience with the puck as well as great vision and creativity on the ice. His defensive skill set however leaves a bit to be desired. He is under-sized for an NHL forward, standing at 6'0" and weighing in at just under 180 lbs.
