The Washington Capitals confirmed Friday that they have signed former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski to a one-year, $3-million US contract.
"Mikhail adds speed and offence to our lineup, and we are very pleased to have him sign with the Capitals," said Washington general manager George McPhee in a statement announcing the deal. "We believe he will be an excellent addition to our club."
Grabovski, who spent the last five seasons in Toronto, signed a five-year, $27.5-million extension with the Leafs in March 2012 before being bought out by following the 2013 season, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Along with goaltender Tim Thomas, Grabovski, 29, was considered perhaps the top player left on the unrestricted free agent market. He fills the Capitals' need for a second-line centre after Mike Ribeiro was allowed to sign with Phoenix.
Grabovski scored nine goals and had seven assists in 48 games for the Maple Leafs last season. He was more effective in the previous two seasons, scoring a combined 52 goals.
The Belarussian has 94 goals and 217 points in 367 NHL games with Toronto and the Montreal Canadiens.
