The Washington Capitals officially re-signed defenseman Michal Kempny to a four-year, $10-million contract Friday, the team announced.
The Kempny deal, Year 1 $3.3 ($2.3sb) Year 2 $2.7 ($1.7sb) Year 3 $1.8 Year 4 $2.2 ($1.2sb); so just $1.8 M in a potential lockout year

This comes after reports that the 27-year-old had agreed to a multi-year deal Thursday.
Kempny was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks for a third-round pick ahead of the trade deadline and became a key contributor in the Capitals' Cup run.
He played the fourth-most minutes among Capitals defenders and ranked third on the club in blocked shots in the postseason.
