Ethan Bear has signed a one-year contract with the New York Islanders, concluding his time with the Capitals organization after a season in the AHL.

Washington currently has $6.95 million in cap space to work with after signing trade acquisitions Justin Sourdif and Declan Chisholm (though pending RFA Hendrix Lapierre has yet to ink a contract).

Ultimately, Ovi became available on short notice-as is the nature of a professional athlete's schedule. (Luckily, it wouldn't be his first time holding a goat.)

McMichael's scoring prowess peaked this season with 57 points, reflecting his significant improvement and adaptation on the ice, showcasing potential for future growth.
