Capitals sign a player in the middle of the game against the Habs
With the salary cap not going up much in recent seasons, teams are finding it very difficult to make space or even keep their own players.
When it comes to free agents, it's also very difficult. Talk about Sony Milano, who was still waiting for a contract as the season began.
It was during the Capitals-Canadian game that we learned that Milano signed a deal with the Caps worth $750,000 for one year.
Milano is expected to go through the draft and then report to the AHL for conditioning.
