Jakob Chychrun and Logan Thompson have signed long-term contracts with the Washington Capitals after joining the team via trades. Their extensions of eight and six years, respectively, reflect their satisfaction with the team and its success, as the Capitals lead the Eastern Conference. Head coach Spencer Carbery emphasizes the importance of a positive team environment and culture, suggesting this makes players want to commit long-term. The team's environment is favorable, with players enjoying their time on the team and coaching staff, which is crucial for attracting free agents and retaining talent.
"I think [the signings] speaks a lot to what we're trying to do here culturally, the organization, the community, the fan base, the arena."
"We want to have an environment in here where guys enjoy coming to the rink and enjoy being around one another and enjoy being coached and are highly motivated."
