Seems like a decent return with two 2nd round picks and for once, the Caps are actually gaining draft picks, instead of trading them away. I do hate to lose his toughness though - although I'm sure Carlson will step up!

The fact that it is 5 years means that Ovechkin, and the Caps, clearly have their eyes set on #99 ......

33 goals a season gets it done!

Well....we shall see.
Not horrible. Saw a lot of hate posted about how dumb this is and overpaid and screwing the franchise, blah, blah, blah. decline of players at this age, etc.
I get it, except Ovie really has showed no decline so far. I expect he will in coming years, but not enough to make this out as bad as some are saying. People are whining because you are showing a commitment to the face of your franchise to keep him here his entire career? Complaining they are paying THE BEST GOAL SCORER EVER to walk this earth to be just slightly the highest paid guy on the team and likely not even in the top 15 of the league?....the same salary he was making 13 years ago? Actually it's about $38.4k less per year than his previous contract so he took a very slight paycut.
There are currently 22 players making even or better money than Ovi. I'd say he's probably worth being in the top 23 in the league.
9.5 for 36 year old Ovi is better than 8.0 for 31 y.o. Johhny Q Norris, IMO
9.5 is actually better than I expected. I thought for sure it would be 10+. 5 years is a year more than I expected, but hey - he breaks the record here with that.
