Wow.

Except that one more hit to the head, and.............

I wonder what the insurance is like on a deal like that?

Insanely high and would not cover the full length.

I remember hearing on Zetterberg's 500 year deal that only the first 5 years would be insured or something like that.  Crosby will be the same or worse given his concussion history.

Sounds like Elliotte Friedman of the CBC did indeed have the scoop (no surprise) on Sidney Crosby's new deal. THREE WEEKS AGO. Well done.

@DamoSpin. Not sure what you're implying. Don't care. News is the deal is now all but done. @FriedgeHNIC most definitely had the framework.

Damien Cox‏@DamoSpin
@DarrenDreger @FriedgeHNIC Not implying anything at all. Just crediting Elliotte with a great scoop.

;D  ;D  ;D

Dreger taking exception to a nothing comment.

He Doesn't care but took the time to ask.

 

[Peter D.]

This deserves its own thread.

Crosby undoubtedly is worthy of a contract like this.  Of course injuries remain the question mark.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Well, he doesn't have to worry about money anymore. Along with his endorsements, he's well set, like forever.

TSN says it's a 12-year deal worth $104.4mil. So the $8.7mil cap hit continues. It'd be a shame if the new CBA messed with that.

It's Dreger who's the baby here.  Not like Cox mentioned him in his tweet saying "SUCKER FRIEDMAN SCOOPED IT NOT YOU!"  Have no idea why Dreger took exception with his tweet.

So it's still a 8.7 mil. cap hit? How cute.
