Not taking management's side, I'm sure Crosby's agent was pushing him to take more money each of his past two contracts. I would like to see Malkin step up and say I don't think I should make more than Crosby but looking at his history, I doubt he will: I play 3 years in Super League? He certainly has put in copious amounts of time mastering English and becoming a league leader in faceoffs.
Crosby is the better all around player, simple as that, and should have the higher cap hit but I doubt we will see this. I like Malkin but value Crosby more.

Much better than the nationalism spouted above.

I'd be shocked if it was.

In a heartbeat

sure, who cares about winning the cup this year, anyways? we have all the time in the world where our critical players are in the primes of their careers.
shafnutz05 wrote:You are contradicting yourself right now. You just made it perfectly clear that our succession plan is looking quite murky if Malkin decides to not re-sign with the team. Are you really going to sacrifice the opportunity to get a great return for Malkin (and possibly solve that looming issue) merely to have him for one last playoff run?
Winning the Stanley Cup is extraordinarily difficult, even with two of the best players in the world. I would much rather take the odds of getting a solid return back and improving my long-term prospects than taking a risk on bowing out of the playoffs and not getting crap in return. Besides, who is to say we couldn't win the Cup without him?
