Capitals general manager Chris Patrick provided an update on defenseman Jakob Chychrun's contract negotiations, expressing mutual interest in completing a deal before he potentially hits the market in July. Chychrun, who joined the Capitals from the Senators, has had a successful season with 43 points. He enjoys playing in DC and has appreciated the familiar faces within the organization. It's projected that Chychrun's next contract could be a lucrative seven-year deal, worth nearly $55 million. Both parties are eager to continue discussions for a potential extension.
"I'm hopeful we'll get something done, and I think Jakob is in the same boat. I think he's really liked the situation in Washington."
"We've loved living in Virginia, and driving by the White House every day on your way to work is really cool. I just think it's been a blast."
