Schmidt re-signed Wednesday with the Capitals on a two-year, $1.625 million contract, Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post reports. With Mike Green expected to depart as an unrestricted free agent this summer, Schmidt is expected to fill one of the six regular spots on defense for the Capitals. Schmidt's deal is of the one-way variety, meaning that he'll have to clear waivers first if the Capitals decide to send him back to AHL Hershey at any point. The 23-year-old has appeared in 68 games with the Capitals over the past two seasons, accruing three goals and seven assists.
