[Signing.. Kinda] Evgeni Malkin to KHL Metallurg Magnitogorsk


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised it took so long for the first CYA contract to be signed. I expect the flood-gates to open now and numerous high profile NHL players sign 'Lockout' contracts in the next month - NHLPA will use this to strengthen their barganing position against the owners.

Don't know why people are blaming this lockout only on Bettman. Yes, Bettman plays a big role in it as he is doing the discussions. But he's not all in charge of it himself. Bettman represents the owners and is elected by the BOG. I'm far from a Bettman fan, but if you're gonna blame the NHL for this mess, blame all the execs instead of just Bettman because they all work together.

Now there's some alliteration.....Malkin to Metallurg Magnitogorsk, maybe?

BTW: Bettman deserves some of the blame for the impending lockout, but make no mistake, the real culprits are the owners who want to be able to sign players to 100 million dollar contracts, but still control more than half of the league's profits.
