As per TSN, the Capitals have signed big winger Mike Knuble for $2.8-million a season on a two-year deal. He's going to be 37 later this week, so his cap hit will count next season regardless of if he suffers a career-ending injury.

Knuble's still an effective, big body, and is basically a replacement (and slight upgrade) over Viktor Kozlov, who went to the KHL. The Caps still need a second-line centreman to replace Sergei Fedorov.
