Your savory breakfast links:
- Talking Alex Ovechkin’s new deal, the Caps free agency plans and more with Post beat writer Samantha Pell on the latest JRR. [Rink]
- Ovechkin met with media yesterday to talk about his new deal. Top of mind? Chasing Gretzky and ending his career when he wanted it to end. [Caps video, NHL, WaPo, NBCSW (and again), WashTimes, The Score]

- Here’s a look at how that salary cap situation shakes out as they prepare to re-sign Ilya Samsonov. [RMNB]
