Maybe now that Alex Ovechkin is making the big bucks he can buy some decent clothes. $124 million will buy a guy a lot of t-shirts.

Alex Ovechkin today signed a 13-year $124 million-dollar deal with the Washington Capitals. Not only will make him the highest-paid player in the NHL (he’ll average $9.54 million starting next year), but it also has to make him one of the richest 22-year-olds that has ever played the game of hockey before. Pittsburgh Penguin super-kid Sidney Crosby doesn’t even make that much…he rakes in a paltry $8.7 million a year (once his extension kicks in the summer).

Ovechkin was picked first overall in the 2004 NHL draft and currently makes $4 million/year. He leads the Capitals in goals and points in 43 games. Overall, he’s played 206 career games — 130 goals and 250 points.

But $124 million? The dude is only twenty-two. I’m still trying to fathom what that kind of coin even looks like… (sigh).
