They won’t be able to have this dominant of a roster for the long haul. After next season, they probably won’t have both Crosby and Malkin on the same team Hossa will probably go into the market this summer. They’re probably can expect to pay Malone around $3.5-4 million if they choose to re-sign him this summer or let him go into the Free Market.Fleury will be looking for a long-term, big-dollar contract as well. They better lock Fleury up before he becomes a restricted free agent and Kevin Lowe throws him a 15-year contract paying him over $10 million annually and decide to match it or end up not having a goaltender.Unfortunately under the new CBA, there will never be another dynasty in the NHL. This team would become the next Edmonton Oilers of the ’80s if there weren’t a cap and Pittsburgh financially could afford it. Crosby and Malkin resemble a Gretzky-Messier punch or to lesser degrees, a Sakic-Forsberg or Yzerman-Fedorov combo.
Most likely, they resemble their Pittsburgh predecessors, Lemieux and Jagr.This series has everything a hockey fan wants in a Stanley Cup final We will be talking about this series for years to come..
