Yes its true, while everyone was speculating that Ovechkin would leave the caps this summer, he ended up signing a THIRTEEN YEAR contract with them.
It's funny too, because everyone was talking about how he hated Washington and loved Montreal. Well he must love Washington if hes gonna be staying there 13 long years, b/c the caps would be crazy to trade him away before that.
Ill admit.. I thought Ovechkin was already halfway out the door with Washington. What with him holding out on signing, and the caps not willing to give him what he wanted. At the moment I cant seem to find exactly what the deal was worth. (and readers if you find it let me know) but I bet it was a hefty one. Especially for him to agree to stay 13 years.
So am I glad hes staying in Washington? Sure, I mean, it really wouldnt affect me personally either way. But the caps really need to get some better talent to compliment him, or they will never bring a cup to Washington.
