The Russian federation is a joke. But then again, as silly as it may sounds, on some grounds can you really blame them? This article really made my jaw drop. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=164521&hubname=nhl

They certainly won't get a freebie and they shouldn't and they can thank the NHL to some degree. I don't want Pitt to go anywhere. I'd love to see that franchise become successful again. I grew up getting accustomed to the Jean Pronovost, Rick Kehoe, Syl Apps and Pierre Larouche led Penguins. There's alot of history in Pittsburgh and there could be alot more to come. |

If Malkin can drive a John Deere, maybe he can cut my lawn for 5 bucks an hour?

Screw the extortion practices. The only offer should be the 900K as if they signed the agreement with the NHL. If they allow the Russian Fed. to dictate to the NHL, then you'll see other countries follow with the same practices. If the guy signed a contract that covered more than this year it's his fault (or his agent) and should honor the contract and play there until it's over. It's obvious that Malkin wants to play in the NHL and that alone should tell all around the world that the NHL is THE place to play if you want to play with the best and the NHL should use that clout to tell the Russian Federation to screw themselves with a take it or leave it offer of 900k. |
