Caps Re-up Backstrom


To most of the sports world, this signing will probably go a tad unnoticed. Backstrom is one of the most underrated superstars in the NHL and is every bit as good as the Malkin's or the Datsyuk's of the league. The Caps resigned their top center to a decade-long deal worth $67 million. A hefty price to pay, but it ensures that, talent-wise, the Caps will once again be the class of the Eastern Conference next season.

PS. Yea, this post kind of contradicts my last one and makes me look hypocritical (the playoffs are still going on!), but can you guys honestly expect me to watch another minute of NHL Playoffs given the fact that I just died a few days ago?
