Sonny Milano lands multi-year contract with the Washington Capitals

After spending some time in the AHL this season, Sonny Milano has shown the Washington Capitals he's worth keeping around. The team has announced they've signed the 26-year-old forward to a three-year deal worth 1.9 million per season.

Milano has recorded 22 points (8g, 14a) in 40 games with Washington this season. Since making his Capitals debut on Nov. 5, 2022, Milano's eight goals rank tied for fourth on the team and his 22 points rank sixth.

Milano became a free agent after last season when the Anaheim Ducks declined to offer him a contract, despite hitting new offensive career highs. He joined the Calgary Flames' training camp on a professional tryout, but was cut without getting a deal. He signed a one-year deal with Washington on Oct. 17th, 2022 and played five games in the AHL before getting called up.
