- Earlier in the week, the Capitals agreed to terms on an entry-level deal with defenseman Leon Muggli. However, he won’t be playing in Washington’s system right away as his team in Switzerland – EV Zug – announced that they’re in discussions with the Caps to have the 18-year-old loaned back to them for the upcoming season. Muggli has two years left on his deal with Zug and played a regular role for them in 2023-24, recording a dozen points in 42 regular season games. Assuming the loan goes through, his contract will slide and will still have three years left on it heading into 2025-26.
