Chandler Stephenson’s contract leaves him as an RFA and he is a player that the Washington could help grow into an extremely effective bottom-six player for their club. He has offensive potential, he skates as fast as anybody on the team and is able to slot in on any line, if needed.
One of the primary reasons Washington should re-sign Stephenson is because of just how cheap they can get him for. Stephenson made $650,000 last season and considering this past season was not his greatest statistically, they could get him for under $1,000,000 and have a roster-player locked up for cheap.
