The Washington Capitals have dodged a bullet. Christian Djoos is staying in the organization.
The talented Swedish defenseman went unclaimed after being put on waivers on Monday. Veterans Liam O’Brien and Mike Sgarbossa also made it through. All three players were loaned to the Hershey Bears.
This just in. The Washington Capitals have placed defenseman Christian Djoos on waivers, choosing to keep defense prospects Martin Fehérváry and Jonas Siegenthaler on the roster as well as Tyler Lewington.
Ahead of opening night on Wednesday, the Capitals must clear money to get under the salary cap and get the roster down to 23 active players.
The Capitals also placed Liam O’Brien and Michael Sgarbossa on waivers with the intention of sending them to Hershey. Shane Gersich, who was recalled to fill Lars Eller’s place on Sunday’s roster was loaned back to the Bears.

Nicklas Backstrom took part in the ‘Black and White’ annual game on Thursday with his former club Brynas IF. He and Capitals teammate Christian Djoos put up a valiant effort for Team Black, who lost by a score of 7-5. Backstrom certainly did his part, scoring on a penalty shot which tied up the game at 4-4.
After scoring, he celebrated like we’ve never seen him celebrate before.

Swedish defenseman Christian Djoos has officially re-signed.
After becoming only the second player so far this summer to have an arbitration hearing, Djoos was awarded a one-year, $1.25 million contract by the judge.
Via Cap Friendly, this is a $635k raise over the $615k he made in his last contract, which is approximately $535k more than the $715 qualifying offer contract (10 percent raise) he received from the team in June.

Tuesday afternoon, the NHLPA announced the salary arbitration dates for 38 players.
Christian Djoos’ date is July 22 while Chandler Stephenson’s hearing will be held on August 1.
Capitals defenseman Christian Djoos has also filed for arbitration to determine his salary for next season.
Djoos joins Chandler Stephenson who also opted not to accept the Capitals qualifying offer.
Shortly after 4 pm, the Washington Capitals announced which restricted free agents they are giving qualifying offers to before Tuesday’s 5 pm deadline. We already knew Andre Burakovsky would be getting an offer as well as star forward Jakub Vrana.
The others being extended offers are Capitals skaters Christian Djoos and Chandler Stephenson as well as Hershey Bears players Vitek Vanecek and Colby Williams.
Dmitrij Jaskin was not given an offer and will become an unrestricted free agent in July unless the two parties work out a deal before then.
Christian Djoos was a bright spot on a troubled Caps blue line, but two shadows fell on him in 2018-19: one a serious leg injury, the other some bad bounces in big games.

To that end, Todd Reirden has shuffled all of his lines and the bottom defensive pair to get the Caps back to their winning ways in Game Four.
The only thing that has remained the same from Game Three are the top two defensive pairs. Courtesy of Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post:
