Leonard inked an eight-year, $84 million contract with Washington on Tuesday, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Leonard becomes the latest young player with less than 100 games of NHL experience to sign an eight-year deal, following the likes of Noah Ostlund, Ville Koivunen and Zeev Buium. Despite his limited time in the NHL, the 21-year-old Leonard has proven productive, notching 20 goals and 25 assists in 75 regular-season games last year.
