Good deal for a puck-moving offensive dman like Djoos who can play on both sides. WSH is now officially over the cap; let's see what they do (+Stephenson is RFA).
Frustrating that this couldn't be $925K, now somebody other than Stephenson is getting moved out. Djoos is good and still has upside, but coming off 45 games and 10 points with some AHL action this is a tad bit high.
Yes, he had compartment syndrome in his hip after an injury he sustained in the area and missed a couple months. (I recommend not looking up the condition on google.) This is way too high from arbitration, IMO. It's now screwed the Caps and put them in a tough situation. Maybe that 'neutral' arbitrator is a Pens fan (joking...but not really, okay I am...maybe not).
Neutral arbitrator?! 1,25M for somebody who will be 7th Dman? Now bcs of that the Caps have to make some bigger move than not signing/trading Stephenson...

the cap being lower than anticipated through a wrench into a lot of teams plans.
I'm struggling to see how an arbitrator awarded this deal. For a guy who played half the games this year without really doing and was scratched in the playoffs, this seems a good amount too high. This seems very close to what his camp should file for, not what the award is. Given our already tight cap situation, I don't like the number being what it is.

idk if it had to do with him winning a cup or hat but anything over 900k seems steep for him.....solid player but sieg is much better and cheaper
