Milano will now report to the Bears. He will wear #12 for Hershey.
The Capitals signed the talented forward after they lost both Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and Brett Leason to waivers at the beginning of the season.
According to Friedman, Milano’s agent reached out to the Capitals after they lost the two forwards and the two sides officially came to an agreement on Sunday morning. The Capitals reportedly gave Milano a $750k one-way contract to scare off other teams from claiming the seven-year NHL veteran.
If Milano impresses, we could see him in Washington later in the season as a depth call-up.
