Brian Maclellan and the Washington Capitals were busy in day one of free agency. Brian Maclellan addressed the holes in the lineup with truly top tier players

The Capitals had issues with consistency in net last season with Vitek Vanecek and Ilya Samsonov. Vitek was traded to the Devils in return for draft picks. One of those picks was Ryan Chesley. A really great defenseman to have in the pipeline. Ilya signed a one year deal with the Maples. Now that Mac cleared out any evidence of a truly poor goalie tandem, he signed the biggest name free agent goalie, Stanley Cup winner Darcey Kemper. Mac wasn't done yet as he signed Charlie Lindgren as Darcy's backup.

Mac then signed Dylan Strome to fill the spot of Nick Backstrom at second line center. Mac wasn't done yet as he signed forward Connor Brown to fill top line right wing Tom Wilson.

Mac then addressed issues on defense signing Erik Gustafsson, to a one-year, $800,000 contract on Wednesday, is expected to step into Schultz’s spot on the third pair.
