“Since
joining our organization 17 years ago, John Carlson has exemplified
what it means to be a Washington Capital every day,” general manager Chris Patrick said.
“John’s determination, leadership,
persistence and skill helped our franchise reach new heights and
cemented him as a cornerstone and one of the greatest players in
Capitals history. His contributions to our organization and the
Washington, D.C., community both on and off the ice have been
immeasurable. We are incredibly grateful for everything John has given
to our team and wish him and his family nothing but the best moving
forward with Anaheim.”
