Ovechkin! /Crosby
Jan 11, 2008 NHL
There was a rumor a few days ago that Alexander Ovechkin was going to sign a 6 year, 54 million dollar deal with the Capitals. Well, he’s signed, but for more than DOUBLE THAT. 13 years, $124 million. It’s not the longest deal ever, thanks to Garth Snow signing DiPietro to that 15 year deal, but it IS the only deal to guarantee 100+ million smackers.
Ovie has been a superstar pretty much from the word go. He has goal totals of 52 and 46 in his first two seasons, and 32 already this year. There are few players who I would gamble on for a deal that long, but Ovechkin is one of them. It seems crazy to think that the Caps will now have the services of AO until my son would be graduating high school. WOW.
