The ex-Rangers center, who did his best work dishing to Jaromir Jagr, was a disaster with the Capitals, who gave him a four-year, $19.5 million deal. He produced just nine goals and 24 assists in 72 matches during the 2008-09 regular season and played in three playoff games. Given the chemistry between Alex Ovechkin and center Nicklas Backstrom, Nylander had no place on the team and was re-assigned to Jokerit Helsinki in January 2010.
