I imagine it will be a long term deal, maybe in the ballpark of $9 M/yr. That being said, Malkin will want that kind of money too, leaving nothing for Stall. I guess the thing Crosby would be looking at is the unknown with the new CBA. Does he sign a contract before that, or risk potentially less money after it?

I've not read anything about Crosby's contract at all personally, but I'm hesitant to think the Pens offer him something that long term ie.7+yrs for that kind of money with his concussion still a possible factor, and you know there will always be somebody gunning for him to make a name for himself.
