Capitals Sign John Erskine to Two-Year Extension
The Washington Capitals announced today that they have signed defenseman John Erskine to a two-year contract extension worth $3 million. The deal averages out to $1.5 million per season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. In 31 games so far this season, he has three goals and four assists for seven points and 43 penalty minutes. Not a bad depth signing for the Capitals, as Erskine plays a very physical game on the blueline. He isn't afraid to drop the gloves and fight and is a good team player, making him a worthwhile option on Washington's defense for the next two years.

Capitals Sign Erskine to Two-Year Contract Extension
The Washington Capitals announced on Thursday that they have signed defenseman John Erskine to a two-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Erskine would have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2008-09 season. So far this season, Erskine has one assist and 11 penalty minutes in five games. This is a good move by the Capitals, as Erksine is a very tough and rugged player. He will bring lots of physicality to the Capitals' blueline over the next few seasons and will also likely protect the team's star players.
