Tom Wilson returns to Capitals on a two-year deal
The Washington Capitals are bringing Tom Wilson back.
The free agent right-winger signed a two-year, $4 million contract, the team announced on Thursday. He is due to make $1.75 million in 2016-17 and $2.25 million in 2017-18, according to the team.
Wilson had 23 points last season, including seven goals and 16 assists to go with 163 penalty minutes in 82 games. He set career-highs in points, goals, assists and plus/minus. Wilson was the team leader in penalty minutes, ranking third in the NHL while finishing 10th in the league in hits.
“Beyond excited to be back in DC for two years. See you guys soon!,” Wilson tweeted on Thursday.
