After his membership in the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, he moved to play for the Washington Capitals. His initial seasons with the team was not that impressive, as he was affected by a few injuries he had like an ankle ligament damage.

Such damages on his game-critical body parts eventually led to his retirement in 1984.
