A Craig Adams phone call woke up Crosby at 5 a.m. He didn't mind. Will have the article posted shortly.

Last huge issue at the 11th hour was Year 2 cap. Players wouldn't budge off $64.3 M and league finally gave in at the end

I still refuse to think the Pens are in that bad of shape relative to the other contenders under this deal. My only intuition on why it could be problematic is the Sid/Geno contracts are now too high.

That is a lot different than "the last year can't vary more than 50% from the first"... don't think I like that if it's true.

No. And you say "the new division alignments" as if they exist...they do not. Some suggest that Winnipeg will remain in the east not only this year, but also next. We'll see about that...but at least this season, no change, AIUI...
