Damn, too bad they couldn't get him to sign for 3 years at that price.. If he does good, we're in the same spot next year as this, not having cap to resign him/anyone..  :-\

I'm a little surprised the Caps would not lock him up for a 3 year bridge of some kind....kind of looks like they are still not decided on him.  Who knows, maybe it was him that wanted the 1 year but that seems unlikely.


2 mil is pretty reasonable for Sammy for a 1 year deal.  Gonna bite the Caps next year if he turns out a good year.

richkrt99:
Well the Caps have a 21 man roster and a spare $688k or so in cap space.



Sadly....the league minimum salary for a full time NHL player is $750k, so for the Caps to acquire anyone else....someone's got to move, or it has to be a two-way contract player.


It would be nice to actually have some Cap space for a change going into the season to be used later if needed.
