Capitals' Leon Muggli: Signs entry-level contract
Muggli signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Capitals on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.
Muggli was drafted 52nd overall in this year's draft. The defenseman is expected to remain with EV Zug in the Swiss National League in 2024-25. He had 12 points in 42 games for that club last season after coming up through the organization's junior system.

Capitals' Ludwig Persson: Joining Finnish club
Persson will spend the 2024-25 season on loan with Jukurit (Finland), the club announced Wednesday.
Persson will once again remain overseas rather than coming to North America. Selected by the Capitals in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft, the 20-year-old winger may be facing an uphill battle to secure an NHL roster spot at some point in the future.

Capitals' Cam Allen: Agrees to entry-level contract
Allen signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Washington on Saturday.
Following shoulder surgery last summer, Allen didn't make his 2023-24 debut until late January. He notched two goals and nine points in 25 regular-season outings with OHL Guelph. The 19-year-old defender will probably return to the Storm for the 2024-25 campaign.

Capitals' Ilya Protas: Signs entry-level contract
Protas penned a three-year, entry-level contract with the Capitals on Saturday, per CapFriendly.
Washington took Protas with the No. 75 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. He had 14 goals and 37 assists in 61 games with Des Moines of the USHL in 2023-24. Protas could play another season with the Buccaneers or head to OHL Windsor for the 2024-25 campaign after getting a taste of the NHL at training camp with the Capitals.

Capitals' Terik Parascak: Secures entry-level deal
Parascak signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Washington on Friday.
Parascak racked up 43 goals and 62 assists in 68 regular-season outings for WHL Prince George last year before adding 14 points in 12 postseason clashes. That productivity led to the Caps to select the 18-year-old winger with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. Parascak figures to return to juniors for at least one more season but is showing promise to be a full-time NHL contributor in the future.

Capitals' Alex Limoges: Signs one-year deal
Limoges inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Thursday.
Limoges will earn the NHL minimum $775,000 when on the Capitals roster, and will get $300,000 in the minors. Limoges has yet to play in the NHL. The 26-year-old had 24 goals and 51 points in 62 regular-season contests with AHL Hershey in 2023-24 and chipped in with four goals and nine helpers in 20 playoff games, helping the Bears win the Calder Cup championship. He will get an opportunity to crack the Washington lineup during training camp, but he will likely start the season in Hershey, barring a multitude of injuries.

Capitals' Hardy Haman-Aktell: Grabs one-year deal
Haman-Aktell secured a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Wednesday.
Haman-Aktell saw action in six regular-season games for the Capitals in 2023-24 in which he registered one assist, five shots and 11 hits while averaging 10:38 of ice time. The 25-year-old blueliner wasn't significantly more productive in the minors last year, recording a mere 11 points in 55 regular-season contests -- though he produced well in the AHL playoffs with five goals and four helpers in 17 clashes.

Capitals' Riley Sutter: Inks one-year deal
Sutter signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Wednesday.
Sutter had nine goals, 23 points and 57 PIM in 66 regular-season AHL games with Hershey in 2023-24. The 24-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut.

Capitals' Spencer Smallman: Pens two-way pact
Smallman inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Tuesday.
Smallman has yet to make his NHL debut despite having turned pro back in 2017-18. Selected by the Hurricanes in the fifth round of the 2015 NHL Draft, the veteran winger seems unlikely to become a full-time NHL option at this point in his career.

Capitals' Luke Philp: Snags one-year pact
Philp secured a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Tuesday.
Philp spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the minors with AHL Rockford, registering two goals and four assists in just 15 regular-season contests. Given the injury issues last season, the 28-year-old center will likely have to show he's back to 100 percent before earning a potential call-up.

Capitals' Taylor Raddysh: Signs one-year deal
Raddysh signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Capitals on Monday.
Raddysh became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks declined to present him with a qualifying offer. The 26-year-old had five goals and 14 points across 73 contests with Chicago last season. Raddysh did have 20 goals and 37 points in 2022-23, so perhaps he can rekindle his scoring touch in his new home. At the same time, he'll likely have to battle to earn even a bottom-six spot.

Capitals' Brandon Duhaime: Makes two-year commitment
Duhaime signed a two-year, $3.7 million contract with the Capitals on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Duhaime had five goals, 13 points, 70 PIM and 207 hits in 80 regular-season contests between Minnesota and Colorado last season. The 27-year-old is set to serve on Washington's fourth line in 2024-25.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Locks into six-year agreement
Roy signed a six-year, $34.5 million contract with the Capitals on Monday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Roy had five goals, 25 points, a plus-21 rating, 42 PIM, 152 hits and 197 blocked shots in 81 regular-season games with the Kings in 2023-24. As you'd suspect given the size of Roy's contract, the 29-year-old will likely serve in a top-four capacity, but the Capitals do have significant depth on the blue line now between Roy, Jakob Chychrun, Martin Fehervary, Rasmus Sandin, John Carlson, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Ethan Bear. It will be interesting to see how the Capitals' defensive situation shakes out, but this contract assures Roy will see a significant shutdown role.

Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Acquired via trade
Chychrun was traded to the Capitals from the Senators on Monday in exchange for Nick Jensen and a 2026 third-round pick.
Chychrun impressed this past season with 14 goals and 27 assists, including 16 power-play points, in 82 regular-season contests. It was just the second time in the blueliner's career that he was able to reach the 40-point threshold, having last done it back in 2020-21 with the Coyotes. Chychrun should offer more offensive upside for the Caps than the departing Jensen while also taking on a role with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Capitals' Connor McMichael: Inks extension
McMichael signed a two-year, $4.2 million extension with the Capitals on Monday.
McMichael had been tendered a qualifying offer on Sunday but did not wait long to sign an extension with the Capitals. The 23-year-old forward is coming off a career-best 18 goals and 33 points in 80 games while spending a considerable amount of time as the second-line center following the departure of Nicklas Backstrom (hip). The arrival of Pierre-Luc Dubois in a June trade from Los Angeles complicates McMichael's prospects to remain as a scoring-line center, but the Capitals are high on his upside, and a move to the wing could help him continue to garner a top-six role once the 2024-25 season gets rolling.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Snags two-year pact
Frank signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with Washington on Monday.
Frank's deal starts as a two-way contract in 2024-25 before converting to a one-way in the second year. As such, look for the 26-year-old winger to primarily spend the upcoming season in the minors with AHL Hershey -- though he could be in line to make his NHL debut at some point during the campaign.

Capitals' Chase Priskie: Pens one-year, two-way contract
Priskie agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way deal with Washington on Monday.
Priskie hasn't played in an NHL game since the 2021-22 season, when he made four appearances for the Panthers. Instead, the 28-year-old blueliner spent the entirety of last year with AHL Hershey, recording eight goals and 26 helpers in 69 regular-season contests. Given his offensive contributions this past year, Priskie should be on the list of potential call-ups but will likely start the season in the minors.

Capitals' Mitchell Gibson: Signs two-way pact
Gibson inked a one-year, two-way contract with Washington on Monday.
Gibson has yet to make his NHL debut, though he is just one season removed from his collegiate career at Harvard University. At best, Gibson should probably be considered fourth on the organizational depth chart, so his path to the NHL would take several injuries at this point. The Capitals look poised to head into the 2024-25 campaign with Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson as their NHL goaltending duo.

Capitals' Chase Priskie: Signs two-way contract
Priskie signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Capitals on Sunday, per PuckPedia.
Priskie spent all of last season with AHL Hershey, scoring 34 points in 69 games before adding another 14 points in 20 postseason contests. He hasn't seen any NHL action since dressing in four games with the Panthers during the 2021-22 campaign.

Capitals' Ethen Frank: Lands two-year contract
Frank signed a two-year contract with the Capitals on Sunday, per PuckPedia.
The first year of Frank's new deal will be two-way and it will convert to a one-way deal in the second year. He tallied 29 goals and 47 points in 64 games with AHL Hershey before adding another 17 points during the team's Calder Cup run. The 26-year-old doesn't have much else to prove at the AHL level and could make his NHL debut at some point during the 2024-25 campaign.
