Last offseason, Marcus Johansson signed a rather large three-year extension with the Washington Capitals. It gave him an average annual value of $4.583 million, placing him in the top 30 for cap hits among left wings (for some reason, he’s not listed as one on CapFriendly). Johansson justified the deal by finishing 14th in the NHL in points among left wings.
Coming off the best season of his career, the Swedish forward looks to be an important part of the team moving forward. Johansson emerged as a two-way wing who can produce at a very impressive and consistent rate.
