In response to "$104.4 million over 12 years for Sidney Crosby -- nm" by Beaker

I thought the NHL was trying to stop the nonsensical contracts? (nm)

I mean, not that I have been paying attention, but that's what I thought.

KINGS STANLEY CUP! WOOT!

best player in the League IF he can stay healthy...and lately that has been a big if. -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 09:50 9
- If he hits his head again, he'll be done -- nm - decline Jun 28, 09:55
- 12 years is the nonsensical part, it seems to me. (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:52
- Yeah, which is why you don't put together a 9figure contract for him. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:52 6
  - MLB contracts are guaranteed. NHL ones are not completely guaranteed. That's the big difference. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:53 2
    - I was sort of wrong. The contract is guaranteed but can be bought out at 1/3 or 2/3 of the price of the remaining years depending on age. -- nm - spamlet Jun 28, 10:02 1
      - So, at a minimum, he gets $34 million no matter what happens to him. That's...bold. -- nm - David Jun 28, 10:10
  - I have to believe there are protections built into the contract. - David Jun 28, 09:53 2
    - I'm just trying to imagine going to the insurance company for that one. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:54 1
      - No insurance company would insure the contract, I'm assumign David means injury-related opt-outs. - musubi Jun 28, 09:55
