The Washington Capitals re-signed Marcus Johansson to a three-year, $13.75 million contract this morning. The deal came just minutes before Johansson’s scheduled arbitration hearing.

Johansson will make $4.25 million this upcoming season and $4.75 million during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

By the way, Johansson’s arbitration hearing was scheduled for 9 a.m. The two sides officially settled at 8:57 a.m.

Johansson has a five-team no-trade clause in the last two years of his deal, per source.

Johansson’s AAV slightly higher than Brouwer, though Brouwer has four-year deal. Johansson is six years younger & scored seven points more.

The Capitals are now $3,454,874 under salary cap, and will look to sign Dmitry Orlov with the remaining money. Look for a signing to occur relatively quickly.
