The math
- Games out: every finished Capitals regular-season game that isn't in his game log. The box score can't tell a healthy scratch from an injury. No injury has been reported this season; Friedman's line was that he "just can't get in the lineup."
- Straight games out: the run of missed games ending with Washington's most recent game.
- Paid so far:
$925,000 ÷ 194per day since Washington's opener (), capped at 194 days. Estimate, not payroll. - Paid ÷ GP: paid so far divided by games he dressed for. It goes up every second he sits and down every time he plays.
