it's amazing what a heater can do to a fan base.

I don't know how many times Habs fans need to be told that Crosby is not interested in playing for your team 
He has been adamant that he wants to be a 1-team guy, just like his idol Yzerman.

This shouldn’t even be classified as “speculation”. Me speculating for oil in my backyard is more realistic.

To be fair the article isn’t speculating they will go after Crosby, he’s saying it’s his opinion that they should go after him

Also the proposal they're making is hilarious:
"His proposal would include two quality prospects not from the group that includes Hobey Baker nominees Jacob Fowler and Michael Hage, injured defenceman David Reinbacher and Ivan Demidov — perhaps Owen Beck and Logan Mailloux, packed with the two first-rounders the Canadiens hold in the coming draft."
Oh boy, 2 fringe top-100 prospects and 2 mid 1sts. How exciting of an offer. At least if you're going to be making crazy unrealistic targets, don't also make silly trade proposals to get those targets.

Habs were his favorite team growing up. If he ever decided he wanted out of Pittsburgh, I imagine it'd only be to go to Montreal. But he's made no indication that he wants out.

The year is 2049. Sidney Crosby has retired to a quiet life in Nova Scotia as a 62 year old hockey legend. Meanwhile on HFboards, a rumor grows that Sid is coming out of retirement to finally lead a Canadian team to a Stanley Cup for the first time in 56 years.
When Crosby joins the Habs, can we also expect MacKinnon to ask out of the Avs so he can play with his buddy?

Don’t feel bad. That probably says more about how the world is more than anything.

Yes but Demidov, Reinbacher, Fowler and Hage are still off the table. This only works for Montreal if they get these guys without giving up their best assets.

Which also means that Toronto still haven't made it out of the 2nd round.

That's probably the most sane part of the article. That's not a bad return for Crosby although he's probably never moved, rightfully so.

I remember when I was a sports columnist, and I had no real good ideas for this week's piece, so I'd just write something fanciful for whatever reason. I like Jack Todd because we grumpy old men need to stick together, but this is one of those things that we'll all just want to forget.
Crosby is a great player, even as he slides toward his dotage, but there is no sense to bringing in someone at that salary at this stage of the club's retooling.
