Yeah, exactly. No one expected that Malkin and Crosby would be worth 9.5 and 8.7 all the way through the end of their contracts. They have those contracts precisely with the plan to reward them for past performance -- pay them now (i.e. the time of the signing of the contract) a figure less than what they can get on the market and what their (at the time) current level of play is worth, overpay them when they're old and no longer good enough for the Pens to rely on them to contend. The problem with the Kane/Toews contracts is that they're higher, there are two of them, and Toews has never been anywhere near worth 10.5 mil. I tend to think a lot of Pens fans overrate Malkin because they like him so much (although I guess everyone is this way about their team's players) but to suggest that Toews is close to Malkin's caliber as a player -- let alone better -- is silly. Malkin has the ability to take a team producing nothing on his back and make them win -- and was doing it as recently as this season before his injury. Saying "a Malkin trade could benefit the Pens" is one thing, but a lot has been said in this thread about Malkin that goes beyond that.
