ARLINGTON, VA: The Capitals continue to solidify their roster for next season, resigning restircted free agent Brooks Laich today to a three-year deal, worth $6.2 million.
Laich is coming off his best season in the NHL, with career highs in goals (21), assists (16) and points (37). The deal comes one year after Laich went through arbitration, an experience he said today "is not fun." That's why Laich says he's particularly pleased with how well the team dealt with this year's negotiations.
"I'm impressed with how the organization handled it," Laich said via conference call from his home in Regina, Saskatchewan. "I'm really happy with the numbers."
Laich acknowledged the re-signings of Mike Green and Matt Bradley, and the acquisition of goalie Jose Theodore.
"(General Manager) George (McPhee) has had a big summer," Laich said. "I'm excited to be back because for the first time I think there's a real feeling we can win everyday.

"If (Michael) Nylander and (Chris) Clark can stay healthy, this team should be even better than last year."
