Sidney Crosby hypothetical scenario

[Nova_Scotia_Vees]

So we all know that Sid grew up a Habs fan and has said he would like to someday play for us.
I see there's still no talk of a extension for him. If somehow he came to us would he bump Dach to the wing?

I'm sorry and Imma let you finish, but Sid ain't coming here.

 

[Paddyjack]

Sigh....

 

[WatchfulElm]

Looking forward to the McDavid hypothetical scenario thread.

 

[Dirby Kach]

what do you mean there is no talk of an extension? weren't talks of an extension all over the news like 2 days ago? or did i imagine that?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

29. Pittsburgh Penguins: Every day that goes by where we don’t get a Sidney Crosby extension, quiet murmurs will get a little louder. This roster is brittle enough that a real tumble down the standings is in play.

Please go away with this

We are building for the future not living in the past. Terrible idea, bump Dach to the wing and lose precious development so a soon to be retired player can finish his career here? NO, that is a bargainbin move.

There's rumors he's signing back but if he doesn't, I think he would chase a cup in Colorado with fellow NS great, MacKinnon.

Demidov-Crosby-Dach

Likely the best linemates he's ever had lmao

Sid has nothing to chase. He’s done everything expected from him and then some. He will stay in Pittsburgh and just cement his legacy as the greatest ever Penguin.

Who is Ryan Dixon?

There is clearly talk of Crosby re-signing.

Not happening, it's time to mourn.

Ouin...l'été va être long.

 

[McGees]

Would have been match made in heaven but he wants to toil on a trash team for his final years unfortunately. I can’t see them making playoffs never mind contend in the next five years.

A scenario I could see a move is if Pittsburgh is such a tire fire that they decide it's time to rebuild immediately. If sid sees guys like letang and Malkin being sold off or shopped, that loyalty factor might not be there anymore.

It's a plausible scenario because I think the penguins are going to jump the cliff sooner than later but it also assumes Crosby would have a reasonable contract that other teams can digest.

Yeah but he’s aging gracefully unlike the others. He can still contribute and mentor the newer Penguins. I guess crazier things have happened but remember this was a franchise that was going to move before he got there. I think he sells a lot of tickets, especially if he’s on a “retirement tour.” From a business standpoint, I can’t see the ownership team giving him up.

If talks with Pittsburgh somehow fell through would gladly go after Crosby hard.

Bringing a Sydney Crosby in the lineup is the best way to build for the future... you gotta show these players what needs to be done to win.

Closing this. We have other threads to discuss players who aren't with the team.
