Capitals' Marcus Johansson: Re-signs three-year deal with Capitals

The Capitals re-signed Johansson to a three-year, $13.75 million contract Wednesday.

Analysis:

Johannson filed for arbitration at the beginning of July in hopes that he would land a longer-term deal after a season in which he posted 46 points (17 goals, 29 assists) in 74 total games for the Capitals in 2015-16. Indeed, that's just how it played out, and he'll now earn $4.25 million in 2016-17, then $4.75 million in the following two seasons. Johannson also has a five-team no-trade clause in the last two years of his deal, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post reports.
