Penguins sign Crosby to extension

I just read on http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=213216&hubname=nhl

They settled on US$43.5 million because the annual average is $8.7 million, which corresponds to the No. 87 sweater the superstar centre wears.

For each of the first four seasons of the extension, Crosby will be paid $9 million, with the first year including the $5-million bonus. He'll get $7.5 million in 2012-2013.

Now that is a nice little contract....All I can say is WOW!

I think I need to go have a talk with my boss....I want a raise!!!

Hmmm maybe I will hold off talking to my boss

Yeah he is an amazing player and only turning 20 in Aug.....I think he deserves to be the highest paid player in the league. Why shouldn't he get his piece of the pie right? God knows he is going to make a lot of money for many other people!

Youngest MVP ever.....hopefully he will stay healthy and score goals for a long, long time. The kid is good for the sport.

Re: Penguins sign Crosby to extension

Lets go Penguins! It's so hard for me to think that Crosby is actually my age. If I lived by him growing up I could have possibly played on the same team as him....that would have been awesome. Hope he stays around for a long time, he's a lot of fun to watch.

Makes nothing but sense to me. He is the future of that franchise.

Re: Penguins sign Crosby to extension

Between this and the new arena opening maybe Pittsurgh will become the hockey town it once was in the early 90's
