Alex Semin Signs 1 Year Extension

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

Most players prefer the security of a long-term contract. Alexander Semin takes things one year at a time.

Semin signed a one-year, US$6.7-million contract extension with the Washington Capitals on Thursday, the second straight year he and team have settled on a 12-month deal for one of the game's most streaky, dynamic scorers.

"Alex was basically comfortable with another one-year deal, and that was fine with us," general manager George McPhee said. "We could do one-year deals for the next 10 years if he wishes. It gives us flexibility. It gives the player flexibility."

The 26-year-old Russian winger is making $6 million this season. He salary next season will match the per-year amount in teammate Nicklas Backstrom's 10-year, $67-million contract -- at one-tenth the length.
