Alex Ovechkin became eligible for a contract extension with the Washington Capitals as he approaches the final year of his contract. Although discussions have not yet started, he expressed no haste in making decisions about his future. Controversy arose when a Capitals email incorrectly suggested he would retire in the 2025-26 season, prompting clarification from the team's PR department. Ovechkin is approaching significant milestones in his career and has hinted at possible plans to return to Moscow after his contract ends, though he later clarified his wife's comments regarding this.
Alex Ovechkin stated, "We are not in negotiations yet... Would I like to stay at the club? A year will pass, and we will think about it. We will live and see."
The Capitals' PR department clarified that an email indicating Ovechkin's retirement was a mistake and that no decisions have been made regarding his future.
