The Fan Blog : Caps Update: Backstrom, Samsonov, Ovechkin
- the_fan_blog
I agree with you on Backstrom, but that contract will probably stink a couple of years from now. You can't be paying players for the past. Mac and him apparently could not make it happen so Ted decided to step in. Puts a strain on a cap down the road and may end up losing a player they would have normally kept.
Ted needs to clean up the mess he created with Wizards and let Mac do his job.
