Thread: The Slafkovsky extension conversation
I don't like thinking that way but nowadays you can almost and I say almost here, see who's a team player and who's not by their contract. If a player take a "team friendly" 8 years to be there and win, I see him as a team player. On the other side, when a player takes a bridge deal to maximise his earnings, I don't think it's in the best interest of the team. I'm not saying ALL players that take bridge deals are selfish (maybe it's because of injuries of stuff like this), but if in this case you see your captain and your little dwarf friend signing for 8 years each at an AAV less than 8M, I don't see why you don't follow the lead and continu the way it is right now. Slaf looks like he'll be one heck of a player and for the 2nd half as you said, was point per game. I sure hope he takes the 8 years 7.85 AAV and develop in the big all-star powerforward that we want

I completly understand and has I said, Pittsburgh will never acept that but drafts pick even 7th rounders can become something nowadays if they have a good development. Pittsburgh can choose quantity over quality because they know when the golden days are gone they might end up being the SJS of this year and play anyone anywhere to let them play and get some experience.

Thread: What If
I can happen! In 2 years time, Montreal will likely make the playoff and have a good core of mid 20 years old trying to compete for a playoff spot and Crosby would be the biggest piece/mentor that montreal could sign. If he wants to come, we will gladly sign him to whatever he wants, but if wants to stay a pens for life, thats okay.

The only thing I can add to your team prediction is that I dont think montreal will sign big UFA before the end of the 2025 season. I would let the young guys have all the ice time to get better and after that sign one or 2 big piece like Crosby, Draisaitl per exemple, that only become UFA once in a lifetime. I know that it's dreaming big of signing these guys but mtl will be in a position to make a good offer to very good players who understand that they could be the missing piece to a cup winning team
