Jakub Vrana and the Washington Capitals agreed to a two-year bridge deal worth $6.7 million, an average annual value of $3.35 million. This move nearly completes Washington’s successful yet emotional offseason that saw them say goodbye to three popular players but say hello to three new forwards and a defenseman.
Re-signing Carl Hagelin ensured depth in the bottom six with the new additions of Richard Panik, Garnet Hathaway, and Brendan Leipsic to go next to returning centers Lars Eller and Nic Dowd.
The top six is now locked in for opening night.
