Capitals Pursue Contract Extension for Jakob Chychrun Amid Salary Cap Increases; Flames and Canucks Engage in Major Trades Involving Frost, Farabee, and Miller
The Washington Capitals are showing strong interest in extending defenseman Jakob Chychrun's contract, especially as the salary cap is projected to rise over the next three seasons. With significant increases expected—starting with a $7.5 million bump next year and reaching up to a $9.5 million increase by the 2027-28 season—team management is optimistic about their ability to negotiate a new deal. Chychrun, who has played impressively this season with 33 points and a +20 plus/minus rating, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. He expressed excitement about his role with the team and hopes for swift contract negotiations. In a separate trade move, the Calgary Flames acquired Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee from the Philadelphia Flyers, sending a package that includes Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier in return, along with draft picks. Flames GM Craig Conroy commented on the trade's quick development, indicating it evolved from initial one-for-one discussions. While Frost shows potential as a restricted free agent, Farabee's production has dipped. Meanwhile, the Canucks made headlines by trading JT Miller to the New York Rangers, who aimed to improve their team dynamic amid reports of locker room tensions. In return, the Canucks received young talents Filip Chytil and Victori Mancini, along with a protected first-round draft pick.
