“Shock Move: Capitals Lock Down Star Defenseman Jakob Chychrun with Massive $72 Million Deal – What This Means for the Team’s Future!”
Chychrun arrived in DC via trade with the Ottawa Senators on the first day of NHL free agency last summer. The Caps dealt defenseman Nick Jensen and a 2026 third-round draft pick to secure Chychrun with one year remaining on his previous contract at a $4.6 million cap hit.
The 26-year-old defenseman is having a career-best year, posting 43 points (18g, 25a) in 65 games with the league-leading Capitals. He is third among all NHL defenders in goal-scoring this season, trailing only Cale Makar (26) and Zach Werenski (20).
