Yeah, the Crosbys and Ovechkins of the league will (and in their case, already have and then some). But what about the rest of them like (and I'm using Pens players since I'm most familiar with them) the Tyler Kennedys and Joe Vitales of the league? Those guys probably just pray for a 1-3 year deal. That's gotta be a source of major disconnect. |
And Bob McKenzie just tweeted about this very point:
