Martin Fehervary signed a seven-year, $42 million contract extension with the Washington Capitals on July 1, locking in an average annual value of $6 million starting in 2026-27 and remaining under contract through his age-33 season. He posted 25 points (5g, 20a) in 81 games last season and agreed early to avoid restricted free agency. Fehervary underwent knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus months earlier, and the Capitals committed long-term despite the injury. He called Washington a second home and said he hopes to stay there long-term. Rehab has been delayed by minor inflammation and he has not skated yet this offseason.
"Definitely, yes," Fehervary said per Sportnet.sk and a translation by Katina K. "It's like my second home. I can imagine staying there for life. I have many friends there, I know the city - I really love it. If I can, I would like to stay there to the end of my career, and maybe even for rest of my life."
"Yes, it's good - I have a clear head and I don't have to stress about the issue," Fehervary said. "But on the other side, it is a big thing for Washington to re-sign me, and I want to pay them back for their confidence in me even with the knee injury. But I will think positive and I'm very excited to begin the new season."
