    Pretty sure Backstrom did his own deal prior too. And he was fully prepared to go into free agency repping himself.

    Ovi repped himself on his deal, and actually asked Backstrom to be his agent and Backstrom said no and laughed.

    Andrei Markov was his own agent as well. I'm wondering if it's a cultural thing.

    Well Backstrom is from Sweden, Markov and Ovechkin are russian, Brodeur is canadian, it's all different cultures, not a trend.

    A vet culture thing?

    Is the Caps goalie situation going to be similar to the Pens decision to keep Murray over Fleury in the expansion draft? I know they altered the expansion rules because the NHL hates expansion teams showing up their established crappy teams, so I'm not sure if this situation will be similar to what the Pens had to do for the Vegas expansion.

    There's the layer of what happens this year in free agency first. I suspect Copley is the goalie who is the designated guy to expose.
