Capitals Commit Long-Term to Justin Sourdif

Washington re-signed Justin Sourdif to an eight-year, $50.8 million extension with a $6.35 million cap hit, rewarding his rookie production, five-on-five impact, versatility, and late-season scoring. The deal strengthens the younger core alongside Ryan Leonard but raises long-term value and lineup questions, especially if Sourdif remains in a bottom-six role.
