Capitals push to lock in Connor McMichael as contract talks begin
Capitals forward Connor McMichael, a restricted free agent, said contract-extension talks with Washington have begun after a down year following a breakout 2024-25 season; long-term options around $6.4M over four years or a shorter $4.7M over two years are on the table, with a July 1 deadline possible if no deal is reached, though both sides expect to finalize something. He plans to train in Toronto this summer before returning to D.C. for the next season.
