That’s another big name off the market already.

  1. Coaching staff will probably be together minus Barry Trotz. I hope the Caps can sign Kempny. He was a solid D man for the team and the Caps might be moving Bowey up to a full-time slot.

  2. See Ottawa, this is how you resign an important player.
    Washington knew what was to be done and did it quickly.
    EK65 must look at this situation and know that Dorian melnyk and the Ottawa senators aren't serious about keeping him.

  3. Don't sign Kempny reunite Mike Green and Ovi on the Power Play. (I'm kidding sign the crap out of Kempny that trade was fantastic and that player is fantastic)

  4. This reminds me of the Seabrook deal. Seabrook is making about 1 mil less and signed his deal when he was 30. Both have somewhat of a NMC.

  5. why are there rumors out there that bruins are interested on Tavares when they don’t have the money unless someone goes

  6. Something you didn't mention is that Carlson may have decided that his best chance of having another Stanley Cup is with the Caps

  7. I've seen people talking about how the length is too long, but they don't seem to realise just how old Ovechkin and crew is.
    Ovi is 32 years old guys, so when you're talking about how bad this contract might be in 6 years when Carlson is declining and still has a couple years left, remember that it'll be a 38 year old Ovechkin, 36 year old Backstrom, 37 year old Oshie.
    Like Ovi will be 40 years old when this contract is over, who in the right mind thinks that Washington could possibly be in a state to contend if only it wasn't for the 8 million cap hit from Carlson?
    It's a great contract because the longer term will mean a lower per year hit and the longer term is not something Washington cares about because they will not be a competitive team at that time anyway.
    Rant about random tweets and comments over.

  8. What do you predict for JVR’s contract if he hits UFA Sunday? 7×7 7×6? I would say he for sure gets 7m on the open market.

  9. John Carlson deserves this contract extension and all of the hype around him. Although, with that money, he can look like an idiot fairly quickly. Who knows? We might all hate him next year!

  10. Beautiful nothing was as surreal as being in front of the white house as the caps rolled in with the cup like they were the Beatles hope to see that again in my life time
