Capital Changes

WASHINGTON-- After signing another quality forward, the Washington Capitals seem to be committed to complementing their young star Alexander Ovechkin, and to turning their team into one that could make the playoffs next season.

The Caps added veterans Tom Poti and Viktor Kozlov yesterday, at annual salaries of over US$2 million per season.

Today, they continued their free agent shopping, signing "playmaker extraordinaire" Michael Nylander.

Nylander will certainly be feeding the puck to the 2005/06 Calder Trophy Winner next season, and might even exceed the point totals he had last season while playing with Jaromir Jagr.

Who knows, the Capitals might be back in the playoff front, for the first time since... 2000/01.
