Ummm the Pens aren't having problems competing because Crosby and Malkin's contracts are hampering them but because Fleury and Letang's contacts aren't delivering. You can have a contending team with Malkin and Crosby are making what they are making. But you can't have a contending team spending that money PLUS 5 million on a flaky goalie and a bunch of money on a one-way defenceman.
