Hockey Fix: The week in the NHL

Washington superstar Alex Ovechkin signed a mammoth contract extension last week that he personally negotiated with the team. The 13-year, $124 million deal pays Ovechkin $9 million per season for the next six seasons, then $10 million for each of the next seven.

But Ovechkin's extension is more reminiscent of the previous longest, for a fellow Russian. In 2001 the Islanders signed forward Alexei Yashin to a 10-year contract for $87.5 million. Yashin had been a standout for Ottawa, but his numbers dropped off after signing the deal. The Islanders bought out the last four years of the contract this summer, and Yashin is not currently playing in the NHL. Read more
