Washington Capitals Re-Sign Timothy Liljegren to a 2-Year, $6.5 Million Contract
The defenseman played four games after the trade-deadline deal and could take on a larger role with John Carlson not expected back.
- On Wednesday, the Washington Capitals re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year, $6.5 million contract extension, Chris Patrick announced.
- Now 27, Liljegren has recorded 94 points in 324 NHL games, with the majority of his career spent in Toronto before Washington acquired him from San Jose in early March.
- The defenseman will count $3.25 million against the salary cap for the next two seasons after playing just four games for the Capitals following his trade-deadline acquisition.
- Liljegren could see an expanded role next season as the Capitals' blue line will not feature John Carlson after Washington traded the defenseman to Anaheim in March.
- The front office faces a significant offseason question regarding Alex Ovechkin, the longtime captain and career goal-scoring record holder who has not yet declared if he will return for a 22nd season.
