Veteran Knuble Signs with Washington

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Posted by Brandan Hartland

The Washington Capitals have signed forward Mike Knuble to a two-year contract worth $2.8 million a season.

The 6'3", 230-pound right wing, who will turn 37 on Saturday, recorded 27 goals and 20 assists in 82 games last season for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Knuble has 215 goals, 214 assists and 419 points in 820 career NHL games while spending time with Detroit, the New York Rangers, Boston, and Philadelphia. He won the Stanley Cup in the 1997-98 campaign with the Red Wings.

He is expected to fill the hole recently vacated by Sergei Federov who signed a two-year deal with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Continental Hockey League. Knuble is a girtty forward who possesses a scoring touch and joins a club that already boasts some of the most dangerous offensive players in the league - Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom.

He was drafted by Detroit in 1991 in the fourth round (76th overall).
