Not going to disagree its a bit high, but i seriously doubt they could get him at $7.5 million. Also the rumours from the start of the year was that the capitals could only afford to keep one of Backstom or Holtby. They chose Backstrom with an emerging young good goalie comming up. I would have chose the same.
