While waiting for their final loose end in free agency to reach resolution, the Washington Capitals signed defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler, the 57th overall pick in the 2015 NHL draft, to his three-year entry-level contract. The 18-year-old is expected to attend rookie camp in September before returning to his overseas club, the Zurich Lions of the Swiss-A League.
Siegenthaler becomes the first member of Washington’s four-man draft class to sign his entry-level deal. The terms were not immediately disclosed by the team.
