Just to let you guys know, Ovechkin's Russian league contract only has 1 more year on it so with the impending lockout the Caps will likely leave him in Moscow for another year and bring him over in '05 without having to pay a cent to the RHF....would be cool to see him and Crosby battling it out for the Calder too.....wait, screw that, I wanna see him now!
Secondly, there is no possible way the Caps are moving...with or without Ovechkin. They have a good, stable stadium deal that will get much better in a couple years when Pollin sells Leonsis the rest of MCI center (the Caps don't get any $ from club seats and very little/ if any from the luxury boxes). Pollin is pushin 80 years old and Leonsis & co. have first dibs on everything so it's definitly gonna be a done deal....hopefully soon. So whoever brought up something about them moving please get off it...ain't gonna happen.
