ARLINGTON, Va. -- Marcus Johansson was back in Toronto for another arbitration hearing with the Washington Capitals, but this time he didnt have to go through with it.Hours before Johansson and the Capitals were set to go to arbitration for the second time, they agreed on a $13.75 million, three-year deal. The 25-year-old Swedish forward will count $4.583 million against the salary cap, almost exactly between the two sides arbitration asking prices but on a longer contract.Johansson got as close as the entrance to the hotel where NHL arbitration cases are heard before the deal got done.I dont think anyone wants to go to arbitration. Thats kind of a last resort, Johansson said on a conference call from Toronto on Wednesday. It was a little tight schedule before the meeting, but Im really happy that we worked it out.Johansson will make $4.25 million next season and $4.75 million in 2017-18 and 2018-19 on a contract thats similar to the one former teammate Mathieu Perreault signed as a restricted free agent with the Winnipeg Jets earlier this summer.The $4.583 million cap hit fits into Washingtons offseason plan with one more restricted free agent left to sign in defenseman Dmitry Orlov. The Capitals won the Presidents Trophy as the leagues top regular-season team a year ago and will have almost the same group back to take another shot at the Stanley Cup next season.To be able to keep the team, its hard, Johansson said. Its hard for everyone. Im just happy we were able to figure it out in the end. To be able to be part of this team for three more years, thats important to me. I think both parties are happy with it. Theres obviously the cap in the NHL and they have to find a way to stay under it.Johansson had 17 goals and 29 assists for 46 points in 74 games last season. In 419 regular-season NHL games, Johansson has 78 goals and 154 assists for 232 points and has added 22 points in the playoffs.Under coach Barry Trotz, Johansson has developed his all-around game and improved his production by going to the net more.Thats been a part of my game that Ive been working on and trying to score more goals and get more pucks to the net, Johansson said. You always want to be part of it and score goals. Thats always a fun part. But as long as you feel youre improving on it and getting better, I think thats a sign that youre moving in the right direction.Signing him for three years takes some of the mystery out of next summer, when the Capitals have forwards T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and Daniel Winnik and defenseman Karl Alzner as unrestricted free agents and forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and Andre Burakovsky as restricted free agents.This offseason Washington acquired center Lars Eller in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens and let long-time left winger Jason Chimera leave in free agency. Johansson said the Capitals continue to make moves to improve.Mac has done a great job getting us what we need, he said. I think last year we showed that were really contending. ... This is a team and a group that I really think we can win with.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . Wholesale MLB Jerseys Free Shipping .

Brisbane have been struck a body blow ahead of their must-win semi-final against North Queensland with strike weapon James Roberts suspended at the NRL judiciary for contrary conduct.Star centre Roberts was rubbed out on Wednesday night for one week after being found guilty of a grade-one contrary conduct charge for striking at Gold Coasts Ryan Simpkins with his leg, ruling him out of Friday nights grand final replay with North Queensland.The 23-year-old, charged for striking at Simpkins as he lay in the ruck during the Broncos 44-28 win over Gold Coast last week, will be replaced by rookie Jonus Pearson.Roberts was too upset to speak to waiting media but the club said they accepted the decision.Were very disappointed with the result; we knew we were rolling the dice to come down here and get Jimmy off, Broncos football manager Scott Czislowski said.Well just have to go into the game this week against the Cowboys without Jimmy. Hopefully, we can go on for another week so he can play again this year.The judiciary panel of Bob Lindner, Mal Cochrane and Sean Garlick took just six minutes to reach a guilty verdict at Rugby League Central.Roberts was not charged with kicking because the match review committee (MRC) deemed there was insufficient force and therefore hit him with a contrary conduct charge.NRL counsel Peter McGrath argued it was a straight forward case and Roberts had not acted in the true spirit of the game by lashing out with his feet.ddddddddddddHe conceded Roberts had not kicked Simpkins but suggested he had struck out because he was frustrated at being held down in the tackle.Its not a good look ... its just not part of rugby league, McGrath said.However, Roberts defence counsel Nick Ghabar argued the MRC had contradicted themselves because they had not charged Roberts with kicking.He said Roberts had been held down, grappled and locked up by the legs by Simpkins and he was trying to push himself off with his legs.He said his client made innocuous, incidental contact with Simpkins and was simply trying to get out of the tackle.If its not kicking, then what about it is contrary to the spirit of the game? Ghabar said.However, the judiciary agreed with McGrath, rubbing out Roberts for a week, meaning the Broncos must win through to week three of the finals if he is to play again this year.It was also a much-needed win for the MRC after recent criticism of a schism between that body and the judiciary.The judiciary last week threw out a grade-two shoulder charge against Canberras Jack Wighton, leading some to question whether they were on the same page.
