Tarik El-Bashir is reporting that the Capitals have re-signed center Boyd Gordon to a one-year contract. Gordon played in 36 games for the Caps last season, netting just four goals and six assists.

Pierre Lebrun is now reporting that the contract is for $800,000.

It's not the biggest signing in the world, but it is important for the Capitals to maintain their depth. If the team isn't going to sign a number of players from outside of the organization this summer, they need to retain the free agents who were on the roster last year to make sure they have a full roster.
