Just a few days after the Minnesota Wild traded defenseman Declan Chisholm, the Washington Capitals signed Chisholm to a two-year contract at $1.6 million average annual salary.
Chisholm, 25, recorded two goals and 12 points in 66 games for the Wild during the 2024-25 season. He was a restricted free agent but the Capitals signed him before he entered free agency.
In 95 career NHL games with the Wild, Chisholm recorded five goals, 15 assists, and 20 points. Three of his five goals came on the power play. He was a waiver claim by the Wild during the 2023-24 season.
