That sound is Washington’s Cup window closing… That puts him around 20th in the League in contract caphit which is more than acceptable. The window is already closed, they will contend sure but the next few years will be fun to see how close he gets or if he can actually surpass Gretzky.

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If Squamfan was a Capitals fan he'd be screaming $9.5 million for someone who's 35+? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 He is still a legitimate 30-40 goal threat. Surprised he didn't take a pay cut to make the team more competitive. Him and Backstrom alone are almost 20 million... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Face Doom Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) He made that franchise what it is today. This is his gift from the organization. Deserved. He's a legend and lived up to his hype. Not to mention, he can still play. Edited July 27, 2021 by Metal Face Doom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTouchMeGuys Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 He's still one of the best goal scorers in the league. He went through two lockouts, and then in the Covid shortened season was stuck at 49 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 The man brought them a Cup and is one of the best players in history. He deserves this. Also no matter how old he is, the Caps can wheel him out on the PP to try and get to Gretzky. He pretty much needs 25 goals each season, or more realistically, 40-30-20-20-20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Good for him. Pretty hefty price to pay to keep him around but I guess thats what you have to give out. Hope he breaks Gretzky's record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Gretzky’s unbreakable (in my eyes) record in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Love it. Takes Russia retirement out of the picture. 20 years in NHL. Hell go Hall of Fame Right after deal expires. 9.5 for the face of the League around the world isn't a bad deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the math lol. Historically he’s been averaging 45.6/season. Out of his 16 seasons in the league he only scored 32 goals twice, 33 once and 38 once. The rest is all over 40 at least. I would say, safe money is on him breaking the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 9.5 million is a good deal isn't it? Especially the cap Tavares or Kane have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Love Ovi. Only team/player I cheered for other than the Canucks on their run to the cup. Will push him well over 100m earned as a player and first ballot HOF. Congrats to a legend. There will never be a celebration better than the summer of Ovi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Drunken Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 That's a long contract for a grey hair lol....it's Ovie though shouldn't be shocked....I still would worry about the length but that's a future team problem I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: holy crap thats a lot of money for 35-40. But it's OV. But still, holy crap. Exactly my thoughts. He's still a good player today but logic dictates the last couple of years will be overpayment. With that said, I get it. He's basically the face of the franchise and if he left they would immediately lose their identity. Overpayment or not, it was probably a necessary signing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
