Who else can take $45 million over 5 years and be called a "hero" for taking less money to remain in Pittsburgh, playing the game you love and getting paid more than anyone else in the world at the age of 19? I'm tired of reading the reactions of hockey columnists who think Sid should be applauded for signing this extension. People, the kid signed for his market value. He's the best skater in the league and is now going to get paid accordingly. Good contract for Sid and the Penguins, but let's not kid ourselves by using this as another reason to laud him for "taking less".

Sidney is a hero. Stop being so jealous!!!!
We know Sid could have asked for the max and would have got it...from either PIT or MTR or anyone else. Yes, he did take less to help his team, but yeah, he's not Mother Teresa.
I'm a little jealous, sure, but how much fun can it be living with Mario?
