Washington Capitals: T.J. Oshie’s contract extension helped win the Stanley Cup

Our fellow FanSided neighbors over at Puck Prose recently wrote a piece listing each NHL team’s worst contract heading into 2019. On the Washington Capitals, they listed T.J. Oshie.

Scratching the surface of his deal, it was quite massive at the time. Eight years and $46-million with an average annual value of $5.75 million. It seems like a massive amount of money but at $5.75 million, it’s really not too bad of a cap hit.

T.J. Oshie has been an icon across the world of hockey since his heroics at the 2014 Winter Olympic games as well as his beautiful flow.
