69 points this year and hit at least 50 goals in his previous 3 seasons. On a contract that takes him to just his age 35 season. $9.5 AAV is on the high end but not ridiculous. Huge marketing star that would increase ticket sales. There's very little chance Ovechkin is traded, and certainly not straight up for Johnny. It would be because they go full rebuild and want a package of high end picks and prospects.
