Thread: dumping zucker to save the core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>Malkin simply is not worth 9.5-10 on the open market, hate the break it to you but he’s just not.

As for this whole thing with the pens owing him money because he didn’t get the same deal as Sid, idk what you are talking about . In 2008-09 Crosby sign a 8.7X5, the very next year Malkin signed the exact same deal 8.7X5. After that geno signed a 9.5X8 and Crosby signed a 8.7X12. Yeah Sid got more term and thus total money but geno got more aav. I hardly think geno is “owed money” he has been making more than Sid for the past 8 years while being a worse player</div></div>

his contract is front loaded, crosbys, he got the lions share early, which means after investments, he's richer. aav isn't what matters to players. crosby was the highest paid player in the nhl at the time of signing his deal in terms of real money, he got beat out later, but he's already made his money and doesn't care. this coming season he makes only 3 mil in real cash, but it was a way to get around the cba, the extreme version was kovalchuk who signed a 17 year deal and had put years at the end worth next to nothing, so he'd just retire and let those go because he got paid already.
