Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post: The Washington Capitals will have a $1.15 million bonus overage penalty tacked on to their salary cap for next season.
Jakub Vrana and his career-high 24 goals require a new contract. GM Brian MacLellan said they are interested in a long-term deal for Vrana. Vegas Golden Knights Alex Tuch could be a comparable – seven years at $33.25 million, a $4.75 million cap hit. Vrana could ask for more, or for a bridge deal.
The Capitals could look to re-sign Chandler Stephenson if they could get him on an inexpensive deal.
