Fair? It's a bargain for what he brings to the team.
A quick glance at the other 30-goal scorers who signed new deals this off-season and the amount they signed for (and I know it's apples-to-oranges in some cases, but tough):
Vanek (43 goals, $7.143m per year) J. Blake (40 goals, $4m per year) Iginla (39 goals, $7m per year) Drury (37 goals, $7.05m per year) Smyth (36 goals,$6.25m per year) Guerin (36 goals, $4.5m per year) Briere (32 goals, $6.5m per year) Horton (30 goals, $4m per year) Clark (30 goals, $2.65m per year)

I'm glad to hear it. I think he's as good a captain as there is in the league.
Huge, I love it. This guy is great.
Clarkie is a consummate professional athelete. Good for him and good for Washington!
2.75, 2.65, 2.55, per tarik, definitely fair

Agreed: A steal for the Caps, security for Clark. Maybe most important: You gotta think AO had something to do with it, eh?
Even if the Caps finish ninth in 07-08, GMGM may have earned himself an extension with his 2nd half (Jurcina!) and with his offseason.
great signing. happy to see him around for that long.
Wow, there is even 4 pages of positive comments on the Caps message board about this signing. Who would have thought that was possible?
