The Washington Capitals may have likely made their final move of the offseason unless General Manager Brian MacLellan has something else up his sleeve. Other than signing minor leaguers, the Caps offseason has been mostly quiet with a couple of noises here and there.

The biggest noise came when they extended team captain Alex Ovechkin to a five year deal with an average annual value (AAV) of $9.5 million. The Caps biggest loss came with the departure of Brenden Dillon and his close to four million cap hit.
