Crosby was, is, and continues to be the face of the Pittsburgh franchise. He has accomplished at such a young age what even the great Wayne Gretzky couldn't do so fast -- went to two Stanley Cup Finals and won one; scored the goal that won Canada the gold at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games (thus becoming known all 'round the world); is the face of the NHL and one of it's most popular and we'll-known superstars, etc., etc.
A mega contract of that magnitude, while surprising to many considering Crosby's concussion issues, should have been expected, the mere fact that he'll remain a Penguin for the rest of his career.

In the event of a lengthy lockout, Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin has indicated that he may join the KHL to get some playing time.
As for teammate Crosby? He may, too....

Will Sydney Crosby come to Magnitogorsk?
"I think he won't go to the KHL right away. He will see how the situation develops. I see that the league and the PA have started to come closer. Perhaps the lockout won't continue for the entire year. That's why a lot of North American players won't go to Europe until the very last moment. A lot of them are a bit afraid of Russia. But the best hockey league in the world after the NHL is here.
"And if the lockout is announced for the entire season, then Crosby may come. He loves to play and won't be able to live an entire year without hockey."
