Yes, they will. Or, they'll be paying two left wingers 6mil+/year, which is even worse. This move essentially stamped Parise's ticket out of town when he becomes an RFA next year.

YA! See in the real world, the business side of things is a very serious part of the game. As awesome as Kovalchuk is, these contracts have real implications for the structure of the rest of the team.

It's not "motivation", it's clearly designed that he'll retire at 38. He will have no incentive/motivation to play the last 6 years of the contract at 750K per. Obviously you aren't getting the concept of the front-loaded contract for cap-friendliness.

David, please go easy on Papa. I don't think he's that sharp when it comes to hockey.

Parise in my books is a better all around hockey player and has more heart than Kovalchuk. When it's his turn to cash in, you can be sure he will want big dollars and I can't blame him one bit for wanting a large payout. I still can't believe NJ will pay Kovalchuk $11.5 million for 5 -6 straight years.

Kovalchuk is not a Crosby, Malkin or an Ovechkin. This contract is completely fucked up.

I rather have Parise too. Kovalchuk will score you 50 and then no show in the playoffs.
