Crosby is now 17 years in to his career and he and Malkin probably have, what, 5 years left?
I was just wondering about the timing of paying a premium for a franchise with its elite talent in their mid 30s

I think winning is probably less a factor in the price than things like the potential for an even bigger RSN deal when theirs expires in 8 years.
