The Washington Capitals seemed well on their way towards reclusion a few seasons ago. They managed to win the first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2018 — but by 2022, only eight members of the Cup-winning roster were still in Washington.
The Washington Capitals announced Thursday that the club has signed forward Milton Gastrin to a three-year, entry-level contract. Per the agreement, Gastrin will be play on loan in Sweden for the coming campaign.
