If you want to talk about showing up in big games, you're going to prove it against a team other than one that has never shown up for a big game in the Ovechkin era.

Assuming Gretz made that in 1999, it's worth … almost exactly $8.5 million. Weird.

If Gretz invested that at 4% in 1999 it'd be worth almost $12 million.

I doubt it. But Lundqvist is a more valuable player than those three combined.

I don't think this will blow up in his face nearly as badly as those other deals. I wish the Flames had a franchise goalie signed longterm.

So the most important player on the team isn't worth this kind of money?

Goalies should be making the most money in my eyes

I don't like Luongo but I thought that was a funny tweet especially coming from someone who knows all about signing a long term contract.
