Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
I'm an unapologetic Crosby fan, so I'm glad he's getting paid and locked up for a long time.
But this contract could become known as "The Dipietro: Part Duex" if he can't stay healthy.
But I don't think Shero and the Pens had a choice.Comment

I always assumed that the team was released from the contract if a player retires.University of Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey

I'm sure there'll be language in there about paying insurance and taking the rest of the contractual obligations off the cap.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
Salary cap: If Sid misses large amounts of playing time, the Pens get cap relief. If he retires, no cap hit (unlike players whose contracts kick in after they turn 35, ie Pronger).
The only real issue is if Sid's injuries gradually leave him able to play, but not nearly to his full capabilities (ie, Lindros, Lafontaine). A possibility, but worth the risk IMO.Originally posted by Thrash13Dr. Jones was right in stating that.

Re: The Official NHL 2012 Off-Season Thread
Hmmm. You mean as opposed to every other player's contract? I'm guessing the language in his contract is the same as if he was considered completely healthy. To the best of my knowledge, the CBA doesn't allow anything different. Whether the Penguins can actually get the contract insured is a different matter, but that's strictly a money issue on Pittsburgh's end, nothing to do with cap hit or the $$$ Sid will pocket.Originally posted by Thrash13Dr. Jones was right in stating that.
