but it's an irresponsible contract.

Unless you have seen his contract-how would you know?
I tend to believe that billionaire Ron Burkle and millionaire Mario Lemeiux know how to run a business- we aren't talking about Howard Baldwin.

By that logic, how can you say it's a responsible contract? Did you read it?

I have no clue- but as I said before I tend to trust that Penguins management team-they seem to have a better handle on the team than anybody on LGP.

That is, he misses too many games and is not available (or properly conditioned) for the playoffs. If that happens a few more times, the dude will probably just retire....The length of the contract is irrelevant at that point.

It didn't matter how long of a contract he signed, there would be no insurance on the contract until he completes a season w/o head issues. How can you expect them to do something that was literally impossible to do? Do you exPect Sid to take a one year deal and see what happens? Come on.

What do you mean? Maybe I'm unclear about a stipulation regarding putting insurance on the contract. You're saying the Penguins can't just add insurance to the contract based on the other concussions?

The real issue is what is the cap hit over the term of that contract. Insurance won't help that one bit. His career ending (or being permanently in-out-in-out) after 1 or 2 years of a 10 year deal would be crippling.
