Caps: Free Agency Update #2 - 7/22

No bad, only good in this one. Caps re-signed defenseman Jeff Schultz to a 1-year contract, for $715,000. Not a bad price for a solid, big, stay-at-home guy like Schultz.

On the offensive front, the Caps signed center Brendan Morrison, formerly of the Dallas Stars, to a 1-year, $1.5 million contract. That's a pretty good price for a solid center to play on the second line with Semin. He had 15 goals and 16 assists in a little over 80 games last season, and should be able to add to an already potent offense.

It seems that Boudreaux and the Caps have an adopted a "the best defense is a good offense" strategy. One of the NHL's most prolific offenses from last season has added two key players to add greater depth and (if possible) even more firepower. I guess, if it's worked so far, don't fix it, 'cause it ain't broken.

Until next time,
