Value of: Crosby to the Avs

[robes1]

The Pens golden years are coming to a close, regardless of any recent win streaks. They will most likely get bounced again in the first or second round, especially with Sullivan behind the bench.

Sid to the Avs makes sense. He gets another shot at a cup on a legit contender, and gets to play with his buddy Mack. Pens get a nice return in order to rebuild. What would it take?

Sid never moves, ever. Would be blasphemy seeing him in another jersey.

Penguins won their division last year. Toughest division in the league. They didn't go far in the playoffs - no disrespect to Isles who played great and deserved to win - but if Pens had gotten even below average goaltending (instead of, completely putrid) - good chance they make it to game 7 and possibly win out in round 1. So - lost in round 1 sure, but a bit of a fluke reason why due to horrid goaltending.

Penguins are 5 points out of division league, with 48 games to go right now. They're also on a very strong streak. Good chance they contend for division title again this year, and honestly, they might win it again. All of this this season with Malkin yet to play a single game so far.

If I'm Pens management - the last thing on my mind is "let's rebuild". Rather, I'm thinking "let's go win another cup".

I don't think you're gonna like the answer for what it would take to get Sid out of Pittsburgh

 

[DaJackal]

But why?

 

[bert]

This should read Giroux to the Avs. Makes way more sense. Pitt is a contender they aren't trading Crosby.

Crosby isn't being traded.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

You won't like the answer. If Mac isn't moved in that trade, it would be Makar+++. That's the only way the Pens would even think about it.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Yeah no

 

[Postanin CB Ting]

This will happen. In 2023/2024

 

[Evergreen]

Crosby isn't getting traded with the Pens 9-1 in the last 10, in a playoff spot, and about to get Malkin back. If the team were way outside the playoffs, then I could see Crosby being amenable to a trade. But I doubt that's happening now.

 

[EK392000]

It’s not even about the value of the player at this point, it’s his sentimental value to the organization.

Crosby is being moved

Not sure why Colorado would trade the better, younger player and then add on top of it.

Anyways… Pens are contending this season and Sid will be staying in Pittsburgh.

Of course Colorado wouldn't do it. That would be insane. But it would also be insane for Pittsburgh to move the face of their franchise for anything less.

Which is why a trade won't happen (knock on wood, cause these days you never know).

Slow day ???? If pitt was struggling there would.be some more merit. Unfortunately they think they can contend and there is about much chance as sid moving as you getting a new girlfriend

If you are being honest to yourself, and you really think about your question…… does it seem ridiculous?
Is there any chance the Pens trade Crosby? nope.

Not to mention your assessment of where the penguins are as a team is way off ass well.

 

[Black Kevin]

Crosby is a Pen for life.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Pens have been like the best team in East after Crosby came back and they're still missing Malkin. How about trading MacKinnon to them?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lmao

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The only way MacK and Crosby play together in the NHL is if one or both of them make the decision to leave via UFA.

 

[LionsHeart]

I don’t think this Penguins group is done just yet. Can’t see Crosby going anywhere.

I’d imagine you're starting with Newhook and Byram though and go from there.

 

[Beauner]

Lol no

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Well if you want him to play with Mack the return starts with Makar. And if you want to keep Makar the return starts with Mack. If you want to keep both of those guys, which I’m assuming is the case:
Rantanen
Byram
Girard
Newhook
And keep adding 1st round picks till Pittsburgh says yes

 

[Beauner]

This will happen. In 2023/2024

I’d say it’s more likely Mac signs in Pittsburgh as a UFA in 2023 than Crosby getting traded there.

Probability of both is astronomically low but if I had to choose which was more likely….
