Really hoping boychuck sticks with us. Guy is exactly what we have needed. This is going to be his last big pay day if he keeps playing like this we are going to have to pony up.

I'd happily hand him the same contract as Dion with Dion scratched out and his name written in place of it. I don't ever expect Boychuk to score 30-40 points, but he is exactly what we need and has plenty of gas left in the tank. I want him to stay.

Yeah he's been amazing. Locking him up long term would great. He said recently he wants to see how his family likes New Yorl. So fingers crossed, hope it doesn't turn in to the vanek situation all over again

Yeah, there's absolutely no reason Snow shouldn't give him exactly what he wants. He's earned it and he's so important to this teams future. It's all about if he wants to stay and honestly, why wouldn't he? This is the biggest role he's played in his career and he's been great, the team is great.

Also think they should move clutterbuck or grabner each getting paid around 3 mil a year, isles won't be able to afford that for a 4th liner in a year or 2. Especially with brock leddy and Boychuck all needing new contracts

I'd have no problem giving him 5 years 30 mil or 6 years 36 mil and a no trade clause if he wants it. Might have to go as high as 6.5 per

One thing Snow is good at is contracts.... Leddy will get paid around $4m per and Brock could get locked up around $3.5-4m per. The isles are in good shape cap wise, especially if Snow locks up the kids for great deals.........

In free agency he'd probably get 6.5, Id be willing to give it to him.

Yeah he has done a good job at that. As long as he locks them all up long term rather then doing bridge deals we'll be fine.

Yup, the guy is a leader and doesn't take a shift off. Everything I hoped for. Leddy still amazes me at how solid he's been. Chicago really let a good one get away.

I think I've seen maybe two shifts (they were in the last game)the entire time hes been here where I questioned what he was doing. For a defenseman playing the minutes he is and with me being the critical bastard I am thats pretty impressive. Kid has been incredible and his potential is off the charts. Lets not forget hes only 24. Thank god hes an rfa bcs there would have been a bidding war for him.

won't be home until the second period, but hoping the budweiser red light goes off a number of times before I get home.

My man Lee does it again. Grabner is not getting Lee's spot. Going to have to be Bailey or someone else. Sorry Cpt.

that kid line is a great combination. All three of them bring something different and together they've been exceptional. I think removing Lee from that line would be a mistake.

I'm going to storm the castle if Lee is taken out of the lineup.

Grabovski looks like he thinks he's still on the Capitals tonight.

Can't say I agree with Lee getting the extra two there.

They'd do well to at least acknowledge Ovechkin's presence on the power play

I'm still having a hard time understanding why he got the extra one? How can you leave ovechkin completely wide open twice on the pp especially after he burned you the first time?
