For the second straight year, Alexander Semin has signed a one-year contract with the Washington Capitals. Give credit to the high-scoring wing for having the confidence in his ability to forego the safety cushion of a longer-term deal."Sometimes it's the player's preference," Capitals general manager George McPhee said on a media conference call on Thursday. "Alex was comfortable with a one-year deal. We were open to one, two and three-year deals. They said a one-year deal would be fine, and we said okay."
Despite being a point-a-game player for the last three years while offensive stars are hard to come by, the 26-year old Semin passed on becoming an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and signed for $6.7 million.
