Taylor Chorney was signed by the Washington Capitals on July 1st, 2015 to a one year deal worth $700,000. He was brought in as their number seven to slot in behind Nate Schmidt and Dmitry Orlov (oh how the times have changed).

He got noticed after playing five games for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but when he was signed nobody really knew who he was.
