Per the team, the Caps have signed Evgeny Kuznetsov to a two-year deal worth $6 million ($2.2 million in 2015-16, $3.4 million in 2016-17 and a $400,000 signing bonus).
After a bit of an up-and-down start to his first full NHL season, Kuznetsov found his groove down the stretch with 13 points in his final 17 games, and was one of the team's better players throughout the postseason run (particularly in the final games of the first-round series against the Islanders).
