NHL WIRETAP SAYS THE CAPITALS SIGNED OVECHKIN TO A 13 YEAR | 124 MILLION.

Whats with these LONG contracts. First DiPietro now him. NHL is so messed, they should make the max number of years to be offered to a player 6 or 7.

Hockey sucks! That isn't even close to max NBA deals in terms of salary per year. Screw 13 years though, that's your whole damn career.

Well Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, and Crosby are arguably the 3 best young forwards in the game. He's the NHL equivalent of DWade

I want someone to sign a 25 year contract. Now that's job stability.

Rick DiPietro signed a 20 year contract with the New York Islanders a few years back, that's insane.

Wade is basically Ben Gordon without the 3-point shooting. Sure, he's been a pretty good defender this year, so that would upgrade, but I'd rather have Gordon because he's cheaper and can hit those threes

I posted it here on purpose. Since the hockey board is dead. I knew I would get replies here. I just saw it so I posted it. Anyways, the NHL blows. That league is going down the drain, fast.

13 years is a very long time, but I guess he just didn't want to think about it again.
