One does not contradict the other.

Again, both of the statements can co-exist. If you want to say I'm calling the internal NHL free market out of whack, ok then.

With a 5 year max on contract years, and no salary cap, Crosby would get 20 mil per season. Easily. With a salary cap, he could get around 12-15. He's worth it. And that would push down contracts for people nobody pays to watch anyway (e.g. Kulemin). That's all I'm saying.
