[um]

8 years, exited and nervous!!!

 

[malyk]

That is a lot of years...but very happy he's returning.

 

[hockeykicker]

5.75 mil is the price

 

[twabby]

What a disaster. No hometown discount at all.

 

[PB12]

He earned it. That dude is the hardest working ****** on the team.

 

[Nice]

Term is a bit much but I'm just happy he's staying. Thinking I'll buy an Oshie jersey this year

 

[Carlzner]

Would rather have him on the team than Ovechkin, and he gets $4mil less a year.

 

[Brian23]

That is not a good deal. Half way through and he's probably looked at in a similar vein as Orpik...

Also, wonder if will see this kinda term with Kuzya and Orlov.

what? in order to get if that far low they had to give up years

 

[twabby]

~they could have signed Justin Williams and got similar production~

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Well, he's cashing in, that's for sure.

This deal is going to be absolutely horrendous at some point. Not much of a discount.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

Exactly what o thought except 2 extra years

[GoCaps2004]

ummm eight years is a loooooong time lmao

it won't be when ovis 9.5 comes off the books

 

[Langway]

Shrug. Some other GM will have to deal with the fallout anyway.

Yup.

There'll be pain on the back-end, but he's a heart & soul guy and the current team couldn't afford to lose him -- as a player or a person.

Glad it's done!

 

[Demandedace]

8 years at 5.75 is a lot to swallow when he's already 30, but I love Oshie way too much to complain about this right now. Dude is all heart, glad he's staying with us

 

[bags92]

I second that

Come down from what? He wasn't getting 7 million a year. At most he'd be 6.5. That's not really a discount, people were pegging him at 6 for 4 years before the season ended...

best forward and pretty much only forward on market (assuming radulov stays) he was gonna get paid big

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

8 is a lot of years. But keeping Oshie is huge
