The Washington Capitals have re-signed Alex Ovechkin for the next five seasons. It was a move that every fan wanted and desired and now we know it’s official. Alex Ovechkin is back for five more seasons and ready to chase Wanye Gretzky’s record for the all time goals. All he needs to do is average 33 goals a season and he will get there.
“In his mind, that’s as long as he wants to play for now,” General Manager Brian MacLellan told the media on Thursday during Ovechkin’s press conference.
