WASH: the Capitals' plan for next season came into focus during a news conference at the organization's downtown headquarters. That plan can be summed up in two words: young and inexpensive. Majority owner Ted Leonsis said the Capitals' 2005-06 payroll will fall somewhere between the salary cap minimum of $21.5 million and $25 million.

So the team that gave Jagr, $11 mill a year is going to have a cap a little bit higher than double that.
