Fantastic news! Also, this probably means it’s a wrap for CMM here in dc. Will probably be part of a mantha trade.

Awesome. I was just thinking that we need to resign him pronto

Good deal.

He’s been terrific. Good for him.

The Capitals seem to have the center position locked down for awhile. Presumably when everyone’s healthy it would be Strome/Backstrom/Kuzy/Dowd for the next 2 seasons based on current contracts. I’d like to get CMM a shot at center but that doesn’t seem like it will happen for awhile.
right-sized
HALLELUJAH. Strome and Wilson are the perfect type of “younger veterans” to be the main core to build around for the youth transition the next few years! (And ensure Ovie keeps scoring in the meantime)

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!

Fantastic news. It’s so nice to lockdown a talented pivot, like Strome, who’s still so young. That’s great for us, as our stars continue to age. That age factor always kind of worried me, so this helps big time.

Awesome! Good term/money

I’m happy about this signing, I am even more happy about what it means, likely Mantha out

Now this means I can get a Strome sweater and feel good about it

huge signing – the dude’s been awesome and 5M/year until he’s 30 is an excellent value.
Here are the list of Centers in the league who are currently on deals between 4.5-6.5M AAV and who have more points than Strome this year:
Player|Age|Points|Cap hit|Years Remaining|Note -|-|-|-|-|- Nathan MacKinnon|26 |54 |$6,300,000|0|took cheap deal *right* before he actually broke out – will make a SHIT TON on his next deal Bo Horvat|27|54 |$5,500,000 |0|pending UFA – will see a big pay increase Pierre-Luc Dubois|24 |52 |$6,000,000|0|pending RFA – this was a bridge deal, and he’ll see another big bump in pay as they try to buy UFA years Mark Scheifele |29 |47 |$6,125,000|1| Brock Nelson |30 |46 |$6,000,000|2| Elias Lindholm |27 |45 |$4,850,000|1|Only player above Strome making less than his extension is worth Dylan Larkin |25 |43 |$6,100,000|0|pending UFA – will see a big pay increase Joel Eriksson Ek |25 |40 |$5,250,000|6|This is a very similar deal, but Eriksson Ek had never had a 40 point season before signing his deal – Strome had 57 and 48 point seasons already and is on pace for another 50+ this year Brayden Schenn |30 |37 |$6,500,000|5| Phillip Danault |29 |36 |$5,500,000|4|
I love this signing
OhkayBoomer
Fuck yes!!! Love his game
FatBoySpeaks
This deal isn’t hateful at all. Little bit of a sacrifice from him aswell cause he could have gotten more from another team. Lets go
DaniCapsFan
Woo-hoo! I love this guy. He’s been solid.
Hopefully Lavy has learned his lesson not to scratch Strome ever again.
Ubongo
Awesome. I love it when he and Ovi are in the same line.
To quote my wife: “Good. I told those fuckers to lock Stromer in!”
smiledumb
5×5 for a top 6, 25 year old center? Hell yes!
Levelheadedfan1989
This prob signifies that either eller or mantha is out. Kindof hope its mantha and not eller. Eller looks to be playing a little better while, mantha………..oh sorry didnt see him there (even though he is freakin huge)
UNisopod
For whatever criticism BMac deserves, he’s really nailed it with these new pickups so far: Strome, Milano, and NAK have been fantastic. Here’s hoping we can sign those other two guys to reasonable deals, too.
Mattejay
For the love of Christ please trade eller now. And give mcmichael/lapierre/frank an opportunity!
damnatio_memoriae
great now keep him on the first line with Ovi…
spiraltrinity
Yes, such a great energy and attitude. Top line with Ovie please!
Lumpy-Dragonfruit387
He probably figures he can pick up some ads and other income in the DC market. Great deal for the caps
AmpersandTheMonkey
This makes me happy. Wonder if that means Eller is getting moved soon.
saltyfingas
That’s a steep cap hit, but he has earned his spot and I’m glad they’re committed to retaining him in DC while we prepare to rebuild. Might mean Eller and/or Mantha are going to get the can sooner than later

Deals gonna look even better when the cap goes up
