He good, but he’s not “3rd highest paid player in the world” good. Not even remotely close.
$9.5m is Ovechkin money. Nope.
Even at $9m, there’s only 6 players in the league making more than that.
$8.5m still puts in the top 10 highest paid players in the NHL.
He’s the 5th best player *on his own team*, and an RFA. And people are talking about giving him 35% more than Nathan Mackinnon?
No dice.

9.5 was Ovechkin money. Cap hits go up. Can only use past contracts so much, otherwise, he would be getting paid less than Gaudreau.
Your comparables for him are Nylander, Marner, and Laine.
