They can still sign the bottom six plugs Sullivan loves, but offer nothing of value.Yayyyyyyy... we still get to make decisions based on half-baked concepts

Well, my #1 priority is hockey as a sport, then comes Penguins. Hockey is a better sport with one of the greatest and most competitive players being able to compete in a playoffs in his final years. I don't think it hurts Crosby's story in Pittsburgh at all. For me, it's extremely frustrating to see 36 year old Crosby playing MVP level seasons in a team that sucks.Crosby being traded would be a dark day for this franchise that they'd never live down. The idea that fans here would want him to be traded is downright insanity.
Imagine saying you wish Lemieux would have been traded in 2002 when the Penguins started to become bad.
It's not insanity, what's insanity is doing what they are doing expecting different results. That's what they are never going to live down. Team is never getting rid of Sullivan. Crosby deserves his last days in glory.
Nobody will give a shit regardless except bitter people. I don't sit around and get pissed Jagr was traded to the Caps X amount of years ago.No one is going to give a shit in 20 years if the Penguins "only" won 3 cups with Crosby. People will give a shit if Crosby is not a Penguins lifer.
The idea that the Penguins would "never live down" not winning again with Crosby is like saying the Penguins will "never live down" not winning with Lemieux in the early 2000s. It's a ridiculous suggestion. People won't care if the last few years of his are on a bad team, people will absolutely care if he's not only a Penguins player for his career.
The loathing of the org?The loathing is heavy enough at this point that I'd almost smile if Crosby dropped the double birds on this horse's ass of a team and finished out his career in Colorado or something.
EDIT: lol beaten to it
Thankfully, Crosby is more dedicated to the Penguins than fans are. He'll be signed on July 1st and we'll go from there.
The loathing of the org?
The loathing of yinzers?
Or the loathing of the people on HFPens who "aren't smart enough" (which I'm assuming that I'm included in)?
I'm just glad its all a moot point because we know Crosby's not going anywhere.Oh for... look I apologize, OK? I take it all back. I keep forgetting we decide things here. Please stay, Sid.
Apparently he doesn't read our GDT's.
I don’t think he’d include most of the guys on this board now as “great hockey minds” lolApparently he doesn't read our GDT's.

I think HFBoards is shitty for the reasons we all know that it's shitty: the main boards.
The team boards are (generally) much better. The more popular teams have nightmare team boards, but all of the vocal morons of the team boards are the most active ones on the main boards.
I'm not a great hockey mind, I don't care though. I'd never follow a hockey career, hell I was in the papers in grade 4 holding a bar trying to skate with bent feet and I STILL don't know how to skate. It's just a sport I follow, not as obsessed about it like when I was a kid and had my own journal with every hockey score, time scored, player that scored, who had assists, who took penaltys, the goalie saves, how many shots a period. As a kid people knew me as a hockey freak.I don’t think he’d include most of the guys on this board now as “great hockey minds” lol
I'm not sure why so many people shit on HFPens. Our humor is... different. We are cynical and love to snipe at each other. But nearly everyone here knows their shit and are very articulate and generally fun to interact with.
Oh yeah. It's been beyond frustrating. Last couple years have been particularly wasteful and hard to watch.I uh... know that too.
You aren't at all super disappointed at how this team has handled itself for seasons on end while Crosby's last years circle the drain? You haven't thought of scenarios where he goes elsewhere to a team with actual serious ambitions? That's all I'm saying, here. Just frustrated hypothetical musing.
Yeah this place is hella depressed, but the actual hockey talk is legitimate
People here make silly arguments and claims all of the time, I'm no different, but the claims at least have some sort of basis. Unlike other places where you'll see Mark Madden-esque nonsense comments of "it's true because I say it's true".
This place is more knowledgeable with hockey than a ton of journalists who are paid to cover their teams. Like Rob Rossi not knowing what the F3 is.
I rather Crosby go out in glory, if not here then somewhere else. He's earned it.Oh yeah. It's been beyond frustrating. Last couple years have been particularly wasteful and hard to watch.
But Crosby on a team with some fresh new faces seems like a better alternative than seeing him in another jersey. Even if they lose as often or more than last year's team.
No issue with people saying their piece though. It has sucked.
Sid's gonna end his career with 9 straight years of no series wins. 2019-2027. Pretty sad stuff.No one is going to give a shit in 20 years if the Penguins "only" won 3 cups with Crosby. People will give a shit if Crosby is not a Penguins lifer.

Its weighing a business decision against a rebuilding one. What would teams realistically give up for a soon to be 37 year old? Although still very good, I would bet a FO isn't giving up a lot for 2-3 years. And nowhere near in terms of what that equates to from a business end.
I'm of the mindset that he should be able to choose what he wants. But unless he 100% wants out, almost pointless to trade him with no elite prospects to bring in fans.
Its simply a rough spot.
