Several right-handed shooting Capitals teammates chimed in after that and below was the stupid result.

Karl Alzner on his time in Washington: ‘It was frustrating to keep getting stumped in the second round’

Karl Alzner spent his entire nine year NHL career with the Washington Capitals, but on Saturday, July 1, the Burnaby, British Columbia native took his services north of the border, signing a five-year, $23.125 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens. Alzner’s deal has an annual average value of $4.625 million through the 2022-23 season. The contract includes a seven-team no-trade clause.

The defensive defenseman described leaving the only organization he’s known as “bittersweet,” but was “extremely excited” about his new opportunity in Montreal.

“I think the organization is willing to do anything and everything to help us achieve a goal and just thinking about the possibility of winning with the Montreal Canadiens, it just puts a smile on your face,” Alzner said. “It makes me laugh about how crazy things would be — not just in Montreal, but in Canada.

“I would absolutely love to be able to get to the promised land with this team.”

Report: Justin Williams to meet with Caps management this week

On Sunday, unrestricted free agents began speaking to other NHL teams to gauge potential interest for next season. No contract can be signed until July 1st, and technically no contract terms are able to be discussed, but the window is now open for chatter.

Friday, the Capitals took the top forward and leading goalscorer among this year’s UFA class, TJ Oshie, off the board, re-signing the Sochi hero to an eight-year, $46 million contract.

With Oshie back and the need to re-sign five core restricted free agents, the Caps are unlikely to resign any of their other four UFAs: Justin Williams, Kevin Shattenkirk, Karl Alzner, and Daniel Winnik.

“I would imagine we’re done, depending on if something happens transaction wise,” MacLellan said to reporters at the NHL Draft in Chicago. “I would assume we’re done.”

But it sounds like Williams and the Caps are still exploring ways to potentially bring back the three-time Stanley Cup champion.

The Washington Capitals had 11 free agents on their NHL roster heading into July 1 and Friday they re-upped the first of those players. The Capitals announced the re-signing of TJ Oshie to a eight-year, $46 million contract, the maximum amount of years a team could offer under the current CBA.

The deal keeps the team’s first-line right wing in DC likely for the rest of his career, but it also, according to MacLellan, will end the team’s pursuit of unrestricted free agents Karl Alzner, Kevin Shattenkirk, Justin Williams, and Daniel Winnik.
