Sujet: Washington Capitals signed Michal Kempný (4 Years / $2,500,000 AAV)

I honestly don't see how this is expensive at all. The sample size might be small but he did a phenomenal job stabilizing the Caps defense down the stretch. Tom Reirden sees a lot of potential in Kemper and he *loves* Reirden. I actually think the Caps found something in Kempny and even if you have to drop him back to the 3rd pairing, with the Cap ceiling continuing to climb, having a stable defender locked up for four years at 2.5M isn't going to be burdensome, even if he regresses. It does have the potential to be a fantastic contract though if he continues to be a Top4 D for the Caps.

Having Orlov, Nisky, Carlson, and Kempny all locked up for 3+ years should give the Caps a strong defense for years to come.
