What do people think? What would his value be on the open market and what do you think Caps could offer in order to keep him, considering Ovie's contract expires a year later?
He's retiring a Cap unless he has a bad year.
Depends on this season really, but I think he retires a Capital and gives them a decent deal on the next contract.
5 x $8.5
He already gave them a discount last time. Why would he again this time ?

He deserves even more, but Caps are very close to the cap limit. If they want to stay competitive, they need Ovy and Backstrom to give discounts.4 year, $8 million AAV contract from the Washington Capitals seems more than fair.

They will possibly resign Ovy and Vrana during the season 2020-21. Probably some retool is possible if second year in a row, Caps won't advance to the conference finals.Caps will have 19 mil of cap space next year with just basically backstrom, holtby and sigenthaler to sign.
5 years, $9.5M from the Caps?

He's on the wrong side of 30. I can see a Pavelski problem with Backstrom. He's going to want the term but I think the caps will be reluctant in giving it to him.
