They re-signed franchise goaltender Braden Holtby to a five year deal and center Evgeny Kuznetsov to a two year deal. Not only that, they added three-time Stanley Cup champion Justin Williams to a two year deal and traded for former St. Louis Blues forward T.J. Oshie. Even when one takes into consideration the loss of long-time blue liner Mike Green, the Washington Capitals should be able to match up well against virtually any team.
