Cap news

So of course it isnt hockey season, but the caps are still working on contracts and resigning players in hopes that they can once again make it into the playoffs, with the possibility of going even farther.
they were successful in resigning brooks laich, a personal favorite to a three year deal. laich, who played all 82 games last year was a key necessity to resign. while i wouldn't say he carried the team solely. he was a big part of the driving force that made the caps the team they are today. and if he continues to grow in the next couple of years. i suspect the caps will not only get their money worth, but they will find a repeat of the playoffs for years to come.
there is also talks, that we resigned sergei fedorov to a one year four million dollar deal. his contribution? with kolzig out of the team, i believe that fedorov could become a great leader role that some of these younger players are going to need. yes we have clark still, but with fedorov being in the league for going on eighteen years, he has the knowledge and the experience we tend to forget about these days.
he just needs to cross his t's and dot his i's and its all but a done deal.
next up for the caps to work on: shaone morrison. who goes into arbitration before the end of the month.
