I guess they needed someone to replace Ghost.

All for nostalgia.

And they got their man. They weren't going to let the "defensively-inept puck-moving defenseman" spot go unfilled

Wow Ovechkin resigned with the Caps for 5 years at $9.5 million.

5 years!!!!

Yeah he was only on pace for 44g last year in a full season. He's over the hill

For most players it would be ridiculous but Ovi is not human.

I don't know, man... at some point he has to start breaking down.

Ovi has one goal, break the all time NHL goal record. Then he is off to Russia.

His hair turned grey when he was 30, I think he will be fine through the contract

Needs to average 33g a year over the life of that contract to break Gretzky's goal-scoring record. I think he does it.

I would agree but he is likely going to be at least as durable as Jagr. He has an outside chance to flirt with 1000 goals.

Jeez! Never thought that record would be broken, but now there is a real chance it happens.

#STLBlues re-sign Pavel Buchnevich to a four-year deal at a 5.8M cap hit.

Well, the peace here was nice while it lasted.
- JRR1285

I don't understand. Isn't $5.8M exactly the kind of contract we were looking to avoid? It would be squarely in the way of paying Kaapo and Vitali what we hope they will deserve in a couple years. And, we got a needed skill set in return.
I just don't get all the hate on this one. And again, I am a big Buch fan.

That was the hometown discount.

I'm merely mentioning that this is going to make social media explode.

Same here. Although, I think it's worth stating that Ovi certainly seems to have that goal in mind as a motivator. If Gretzky cared about it one bit, he could have easily reached 1000.
Christ, the season he scored 92 he had 11 empty net assists!! Wasn't concerned with 100 in a single season, either.

That was the hometown discount.
- aecliptic

Maybe, but I can't imagine too many teams willing to even come close to that number.

Kakko and Krav, assuming this season goes well, theyll both be due something like 2.5m to 3m in a bridge deal. Combined is the sum Buch got paid. So yea…

- JRR1285

It wasn't a response solely to you. I just feel like I'm missing some element of how paying Buch that money would have been good for the short term future of the Rangers.
