Re: Washington Caps lock in Ovechkin for 13 year, 124 mil.
Ovie deserves it, and at 22, he's one of the top players in the NHL. He's got a passer who can get him the puck in Backstrom, so it's a matter of time before he blows up.
My biggest concern for the Capitals is goaltending. Olie is pushing 40, and Brent Johnson is a shadow of his early years with the Blues. Frederic Cassivi (Hershey's top goaltender) is 32 and still can't push Johnson out of the #2 spot.
