[twabby]

I very much enjoy my favorite hockey player playing on my favorite hockey squadron.

 

[Lindemann]

Wasn’t that the same cap hit for 13 years?

[g00n]

Hahahahahaaaaa

 

[pman25]

Hell yeah

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

About $2 mil per less than I feared…..so I’m content.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Good deal. Fair all around.

honestly, Ovi has earned a billion dollars probably in value for this city/the team. Ted should take care of Ovi forever.

 

[Monsterrain]

Great. Now he needs to lose 20 lbs to get some speed back.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Woooot. The GOAT will retire a Cap.

 

[Kalopsia]

Actually $38,462 less than his last contract!

And people said he wouldn’t take a pay cut. Ha!

 

[Ridley Simon]

Ok then. No complaints, fully understand

 

[notDkristich]

lol at ppl saying he'd get 13 million

solid signing, i hear he can score goals

Yeah, not much to complain about with this. Maybe a year too long, but he’s earned it.

 

[Firsov99]

Glad to hear! It just wouldn't be right for him to either sign with someone else or leave for KHL now.

 

[Firsov99]

Yeah, not much to complain about with this. Maybe a year too long, but he’s earned it.

Just in case he needs to add 15 goals to break the record

 

[max21]

Let’s goooooooo, all the Ovechkin haters are going to be really mad in a few years when he’s the main storyline in hockey getting really close to the record

 

[Nice]

5 more years of watching my favorite player ever. Life is good

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

Suddenly 894 doesn't seem insurmountable.

 

[Dessloch]

This aged pretty well huh? Got my sources Already knew this for more than 2 months.

Congratulations on the extention though, plenty of more goal celebrations to come for #8

 

[txpd]

He wants to play to 40. He doesn't want to negotiate another contract after this one. He said he wishes his last contract was longer. He effectively extended his current contract for 5 more years til he is 40.

 

[txpd]

Suddenly 894 doesn't seem insurmountable.

That has always been my calc. He would play to 40. He gets 5 seasons. He needs an Ov season this season and a near Ov season the season after and its as good as done.

33 is the magic number. Yes it is.
