The Washington Capitals bolstered their roster by signing veteran forward Boone Jenner to a four-year, $23 million contract. Jenner, formerly captain of the Columbus Blue Jackets, brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Capitals. He joins the team after a season where he recorded 13 goals and 38 points in 67 games.

Adding further depth to the blue line, the Capitals also secured defenseman Vincent Desharnais on a four-year agreement worth $16.8 million. Desharnais, 30, played 53 games for the San Jose Sharks last season, contributing one goal and six assists. His addition provides the Capitals with a steady presence on the defensive end.

Jenner, a 14-year veteran, has achieved four 20-goal seasons and holds the Blue Jackets' record for games played. His nomination for the Bill Masterton and King Clancy trophies highlights his character and impact beyond the ice. Desharnais has previously played for several NHL teams, offering a versatile option for the Capitals' defense corps. Jenner's deal is for $23 million, while Desharnais' contract comes in at $16.8 million.
