The Capitals have signed Dylan Strome to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.

With Nicklas Backstrom recently undergoing hip surgery and expected to miss an extended period of time, the Capitals sign Strome to a one-year deal, presumably to be their No.2 centre in 2022-23. Strome excelled while playing up in the Blackhawks lineup last season but found himself near the bottom of the depth chart often as well. If he sticks on the second line with players like Anthony Mantha and T.J Oshie, Strome should be able to replicate the 22 goals and 26 assists (48 points) we saw from him a season ago.

Strome (personal) will return to the Blackhawks lineup on Tuesday.

Strome missed Sunday's game vs. the Predators due to the birth of his child but is set to play on Tuesday. It's unclear who he'll line up with, but he skated with Kirby Dach and Mattias Janmark in his most recent game. Strome has one goal on six shots in five games since returning to the Blackhawks lineup on March 18th.

The Blackhawks have signed Dylan Strome to a two-year contract extension worth $6.0 million ($3.0M AAV).

After a breakout 2019 campaign, he finished 2020 with 38 points (12G / 26A) in 58 games. Strome appeared set to open the 2021 campaign as the Blackhawks' No.3 centre behind Jonathan Toews and Kirby Dach, but with both with Toews dealing with a health issue and Dach out for five months, Strome will be their No.1 centre when they start training camp on Monday.
