Fucking ridiculous. He’s our best defender and is still actually performing. Has been a core player for the better part of a decade and on this team for more than ten years. Has more than paid his dues and his current performances still back it up.
Just give him term and lower the cap hit. We have with many other players in similar situations.
I don’t mind them being stingy about term. Look at the Oshie Kuzy Carlson and Backstrom contracts right now. Sure they “deserved it because they’re a part of the core” but it’s absolutely fucking us as they’ve gotten old and hurt and produced less. They’ll always be legends in DC and so will Orly but you have to learn from the cap hell we’re in right now.
Try and flip him for a first, sell Eller, gustafson, tvr, Jensen, Mantha, whomever, we need to build for the future
I could see him wanting a 6 year deal and the caps countering with 4. He’s gonna be 32 going into next year, but he’s by far the most complete defenseman on the team. The AAV absolutely has to be between 5.5-6. Maybe up to 6.5.
