BREAKING: Capitals Hand Over Massive Extension to Top-Pairing Defenseman
The Washington Capitals have very few players under contract next season, and they have made a move to keep one more. They extended one of their top defensemen today.
Capitals Pay Up to Keep Trevor Van Riemsdyk
The Washington Capitals announced today that Trevor Van Riemsdyk has a greed to a three-year, $9-million deal. This gives him an average annual value of $3-million, which is quite a bit.
In the wild defensive market in free agency, this may be a prudent move, but giving three years to the 31-year-old is a risk.
Van Riemsdyk is coming off of a two-year deal with the Capitals that paid $950,000 annually. It's safe to say this is a very nice raise for him.
