Defenseman Alexander Alexeyev signed a three-year, $2.775 million contract with the Washington Capitals.
The first-round pick drafted 31st overall in the 2018 draft will make $925,000 per season.
The team announced the deal on Monday.
Alexeyev spent last season in the Western Hockey League.
Alexeyev said he received a welcome call from Alex Ovechkin on draft night. He said Ovechkin called him on FaceTime and they talked about some of Ovechkin's celebrations with the Stanley Cup.
"My teammates in Russia always say my face is like ... poker face," Alexeyev said. "And I can do crazy things with the puck."
