Backstrom turns 33 in November 2020. You you gave him $8.9Mx8 through 41 years old?

Whatever gets him to retire as a Cap IMO.

I don't believe it will require that term or AVV for Backstrom. He has said often how he loves playing here and being part of the organization. I think if the Caps were still Cup-less, the temptation to go elsewhere is greater. Because despite being quiet, I think Backstrom intensely wants to win and lead a winning culture. But he has a Cup and he still has as good a chance as anywhere else to win. He is beloved and respected here by everyone, top to bottom.

Ted (and by extension GMBM) WILL do whatever it takes to resign Nick. But I don't think it will require anything above a year term (takes him to 39), and a healthy inflation ($8 million seems fair). If Nick's agent came and said "Look, there's a 7 year, 9 million offer. Can you match it?", the Caps say yes before the sentence is finished. I just don't think that happens. I honestly think an extension is coming in August.

I agree 100%. Extension this summer and also because they know Holtby is gone after this season. So they have millions more to work with right now for next year to get it done.
