38, was instrumental in the Cup run. Last year of his deal. Just give him a retirement party so the guy isn’t dealing with back pain or concussions the rest of his life.
Love you Oshie. I really appreciate how he handled this, because he very clearly told the team this months ago so they could make their summer moves knowing his cap hit would be going away. If he tried a comeback like Backstrom did last year, they wouldn’t have been able to add Mangiapane.
I hope Oshie does what’s best for him and his family. His knowledge of the game is certainly a boon for the team regardless of injury.
Is anyone surprised? After all the trades and signings the Caps did in early July, it’s clear the writing was on the wall.. Oshie isn’t coming back.
I can’t buy another jersey. I have Backie and Oshie and I can’t risk jinxing anyone else.
That said, we all saw this coming and I hope he figures out a solution so he can devote all that energy to being the best dad to his kids. He’ll always be an Olympic and Caps legend.
