The owner of “Washington” promised not to rebuild the team for the sake of Ovechkin’s record

Owner “Washington” Ted Leonsis has promised he won’t rebuild the Russian striker’s squad Alexandra Ovechkina which is close to the NHL record for career goals scored.

— I am not going to swap players, as I did last season. I’m sure we will have an influx of young players. We are not going to rebuild the team. For me, perestroika is when you look the players, the coaches, the supporters in the eye and you say to yourself that you are going to play very badly. If we get weak, I don’t think Ovechkin can break the record, ESPN quote Leonsis.

Washington Capitals captain Ovechkin, 37, has 797 NHL goals, the third in NHL history. Wayne Gretzky leads the league with 894 goals, followed by Gordie Howe with 801.
