Ovechkin, Capitals to talk in 'near future' about potential return for next season
Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals plan to discuss his potential return for a 22nd NHL season in the near future, with general manager Chris Patrick saying the conversation should not drag on much longer into the offseason. Ovechkin, who will turn 41 on Sept. 17, is on an expiring contract and can become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday, though Patrick noted the team has cap space to re-sign him if he decides to return. Patrick said he has an understanding from previous conversations with Ovechkin regarding what the player is looking for contract-wise.
