Capitals waiting for the salary cap to be announced
Tom Gulitti of NHL.com: Once the NHL announces next seasons salary cap number, the Washington Capitals will make decisions on which of restricted free agents to send qualifying offers too.
“We’re going to make a decision here after we see the cap number, after we talk to a couple of these agents further after the cap number,” MacLellan said.
Andre Burakovsky will be their toughest decision. They could qualify him, trade him, or let him become a UFA.
The Capitals aren’t expected to re-sign UFAs Brett Connolly, Devante Smith-Pelly and Brooks Orpik.
