My guess it's around 7-8M per year for each player.Regardless, take deep breaths and rest assured that Nicky and Ovi ain't going anywhere!

I'm hoping that the Seattle expansion bump figures significantly into the 2021 salary cap so that keeping around a couple of Caps legends shouldn't be a problem.
... And Seattle offers 5x15M$ to Ovechkin.I'm hoping that the Seattle expansion bump figures significantly into the 2021 salary cap so that keeping around a couple of Caps legends shouldn't be a problem.
Both of them will be significantly higher than that.My guess it's around 7-8M per year for each player.
If Ov threatens 50 goals again this season, it would be tough to imagine him signing a $7m contract.
Ovie should just write a number on a piece of paper and get it to be honest. He has earned it.
One thing I worry about though is Ovie has an agent now, unless his agent is just a marketing agent. If Ovie will be negotiating his own contract again I feel good.
Isn't it obvious?
Look at how important it was for Vegas to have a recognizable face in MAF... Ovechkin is 10 times bigger.
LOL, I can see the team offering $10 - 11M x 3 years though. The expansion draft projection doesn't have a lot of goal scorers, and a whole bunch of defensively responsible forwards, Ovy's primary job both ES and PP would be to float around the circle waiting for a shot (like Brett Hull with the Wings).Ok....
$15 million AAV for 5 years for 35 year old Ovechkin in their first year of existence
If Seattle were to emulate Vegas’s plan it wouldn’t be signing a UFA for a 10 figure AAV, they’d try to weaponize their cap space for assets.Isn't it obvious?

Absolutely, they'll try. But the general consensus is that GMs aren't going to get suckered again. UFA would be the backup plan in case the team doesn't pick up enough scorers through deals.If Seattle were to emulate Vegas’s plan it wouldn’t be signing a UFA for a 10 figure AAV, they’d try to weaponize their cap space for assets.
Absolutely, but that would require a trade whereas Ovy's contract ends in 2021. I doubt the Caps trade TJ, unless he asks for it.If Seattle is gunning for a marketable name from the Capitals, it would be Everett native and Seattle Seahawks fan TJ Oshie.

Based on MAF this would require the Caps sending Seattle compensationMAF did a big favour for Pittsburgh, maybe Oshie will do the same?
Goalies are different, Pittsburgh decided to go with Murray and you don't need two #1 goalies. MAF was overpaid for what he showed the previous season, Vegas had cheaper options with Grubauer and Mrazek so the Pens bribed GMGM to pick MAF.Based on MAF this would require the Caps sending Seattle compensation
