Maybe, but it seems the Caps may not quite feel this way since they only signed him to a PTO and not a full NHL contract right now.

Just goes to show how tough it now is to now prolong your NHL career these days unless you're actually genuinely really good. Cody Franson can also speak to this, since he's only on a PTO with the Blackhawks.
