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.

And a hedge fund manager is probably considered overpaid at a couple hundred million bucks a year by most people, but it's still the market price at this point. Of course there are a ton of different factors, but it doesn't matter what you or I or anyone else thinks, because Nikolai Kulemin's price is what someone wants to pay him. Accept that.
