The Washington Capitals have signed Jakob Chychrun to an eight-year, $72 million contract extension. Chychrun, who turns 27 next week, was in the last year of a six-year deal he signed in 2018 with the Arizona Coyotes and was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Chychrun was acquired from the Ottawa Senators last offseason. This season, he has a career high 43 points in 65 games.
