IT'S SO NOT O-VER, BABES‼️
The Washington Capitals have re-signed captain Alex Ovechkin to a one-year contract extension. Ovechkin’s contract will carry an average annual value of $4.25 million.

An $8.25 AAV for a team that can currently afford to give that sort of contract out. Really like this for the Sharks, who needed some blunt force trauma on their blueline.
Anyone complaining about this is a moron. One of the two or three best defenseman in the class even if he has his detractors and the Sharks have more cap space than the GDP of most island nations.
Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
Or that the social media team included Murtyn because his brother is a Sharks prospect but that's less fun and all we can do is speculate wildly right now.
Since we have nothing better to do than speculate wildly about who the Sharks like it looks like the players they put in the graphic are:
McKenna
Stenberg
Verhoff
Reid
Carels
Verhoff
Smits
Bjorck
Malhotra
Murtyn
Rudolph
Suvanto.
If you want to read into it that suggests that they like the best defenseman available at 9 and Murtyn at 27, since he's the one of those most likely to be around at that point.
