Martin Fehervary, a promising 25-year-old defenseman for the Washington Capitals, has signed a lucrative seven-year, $42 million contract extension that will keep him with the team until the 2032-33 season. This deal comes after a season where he recorded personal bests in assists, points, and games played, showcasing his vital role in the Capitals' defense.

Fehervary led the Capitals in shorthanded ice time and was notably valuable with his ability to block shots while contributing to the physical presence required in their back line. Despite a serious injury that sidelined him during the playoffs, Capitals GM Chris Patrick expressed excitement over securing Fehervary long-term, highlighting his competitiveness and conditioning as key attributes for the team's future.
