Capital Investment


The Washington Capitals have signed Mike Knuble to a 2 year, $5.6 Million dollar contract.

After spending the last 4 seasons in Philadelphia, Knuble is off to play with some of the most gifted hockey players in Washington. With 47 points in 82 games last season, Knuble has seen a steady decline in his stats over the years. At 36 years old, Knuble will offer veteran leadership and depth to the Capitals.

Fantasy Outlook: Knuble will undoubtedly be used as a top 6 forward and on the powerplay as well. Playing with Ovechkin, Semin and Backstrom should rejuvenate Knuble and as a result, elevate his point totals. Owners should not expect Knuble’s stats to be in the 70 –80 point range; rather in the 60 point range is reasonable.
