Were the Pittsburgh and Chicago GM's incompetent when they signed Crosby, Malkin, Kane, and Toews to 5 year contracts expiring as UFA's when their ELC's were up? Why weren't they all signed for 8 years?
crosby first three years = 102, 120, 72 (in 53) signed for 8.7 15.3% of cap
Malkin first three years = 85, 106, 113 signed for 8.7 15.3% of cap
kane first three years = 70, 72, 88 signed 6.3 10.6% of cap
Toews first three years = 54. 63, 69 Signed for 6.5 10.6% of cap
Matthews signed closer to what crosby and malkin earned rather than his more comparables of toews and kane.
