Washington Capitals and the player Dylan Strome They have reached an agreement to extend their contractual relationship that expired on July 1, making him an unrestricted free agent. This means that Strome will wear the jersey of the capital for five seasons at a rate of five million a year against the franchise salary cap.
A productive season
So the Verizon Center it has become the place where Strome’s career seems to finally consolidateafter a stage in Chicago Blackhawks crowned with highs and lows, where overnight he went from playing on the front lines with Toews and Kane to the basement of the bottom six. Discarded by the new management for the reconstruction project in which the Illinois franchise has embarked, his free agent status went from restricted to unrestricted, a change in status that his current team took advantage of to sign him on the second day of free agency.
A contract year in which the player had to assert himself to ensure his professional career and in just over half a season he has achieved it by making management launch negotiations to retain him within their organization.
Total Franchise Satisfaction
“Dylan is a smart and skilled center and has been a great addition to our organization,” said Brian MacClellan, general manager of the Capitals. “We are pleased to sign him for a long season. We feel his skill set fits our team once he enters the prime years of his career in an important position.”
But in this franchise there is someone in an office, carpeted with ice to the left of the rival goal, from which the person with the most weight in it speaks, your captain Alex Ovechkin, that from the All Star he also spoke about it and gave his approval to the movement: “He is a good player and he is going to get better and better.” And he finished, “I’m happy for him and for the Caps.” There is undoubtedly no better endorsement than that of the franchise player and with whom the line is also shared.
