Chicago Blackhawks’ Corey Crawford: A Goaltender Contract Comparison
Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford is arguably the only reason his team is currently anywhere near early postseason contention. Some fans have lost and will continue to lose sleep over his contract, though.
When the Chicago Blackhawks inked goaltender Corey Crawford to a six-year, $36 million contract ahead of the 2014-15 season, some fans were irate. This was a goaltender playing in front of a great team, they said. He wasn’t worth what currently ties for the seventh-most expensive contract in the NHL.
Flash forward to today, and … some fans are still saying this. But I’d like to think the noise in quieter. And I’d also like to think it’s not affecting Crow regardless.
