Oshie staying with Caps
CHICAGO — The Washington Capitals have re-signed right winger T.J. Oshie to a $46 million, eight-year contract.
Oshie will count $5.75 million against the salary cap through the 2024-25 season.
General manager Brian MacLellan announced the deal Friday just before the start of the NHL draft. Oshie was set to be an unrestricted free agent.
The 30-year-old forward tied Alex Ovechkin for the team lead with 33 goals last season. That was a career high, as he has 56 points despite playing only 68 games.
