Value of: THE TOTALLY UNREALISTIC SIDNEY CROSBY TO THE JETS TRADE

[StuckOutHere]

Man HF can truly be the no fun board eh.

 

[Baksfamous112]

If Crosby ever gets traded he will choose his destination and whoever gets him will likely pay ~ half of OP’s proposition.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I hope this never happens so the Pens get no help kicking off a rebuild and Crosby wastes away on the Pens.

You already know that they'll be getting McKenna next year to help transition into the next Pens-era

 

[I am Canadian]

Crosby being dealt is a real possibility, despite what Pens fans want to believe. No player wants to bottom out when they have a chance to play meaningful playoff hockey.

 

[Barsky]

You know what they say about fools and their money.

Oh no, some random guy who can't accept reality thinks I'm a fool... Ironic

 

[Toby Flenderson]

vilardi+1st if Sid decided he wanted to go there

I do think Sid stays but if he decides to leave, part of that would be to help set up the Pens for the future. The OP doesn’t do that. Even at 37 he’d probably be the best player on Winnipeg so trading Vilardi+ should not be an issue for them

But also I don’t think he picks Winni. Would most likely be Colorado (but idk what they even have to offer that’s attractive)

 

[EquivalentStay]

But if you cut the cheese before buying might cause a problem

good one dude, you're so funny

I wonder who is the best player that Crosby can be traded for 1 for 1. Obviously he is old but he is still a star and every single playoff team would love to have him

Would Crosby for Marner be a fair deal for both teams assuming that Marner signs a good long-term contract with Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh gets a young 100 pt star for another 8 years.

Toronto gets an old man that doesn’t have constant diarrhea during the playoffs.

Does Pittsburgh even want someone like Marner long-term?

Or is there another team that can offer someone better than Marner straight up for Crosby?

The bolded, yes.

I'd love to see Sid and Marner on a line together - going opposite ways in a trade is an interesting proposal.

Grodd forbid we have a discussion on a discussion board…people on here take this shit far to seriously

 

[benfranklin]

Nah. Hes not going anywhere and if he does, its to COL.

Kinda like Panarin? And Shesterkin? And Fox? And Lafreniere?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

If Crosby ever decides he is willing to move, he will only allow a trade to the Avs or Canucks. Possibly the Leafs or Rangers. And if it is only 2-3 teams, the return will not be what many will hope it will be.

Not sure i see a Rangers connection. Colorado makes sense since Nate is there. I think winning with a Canadian team and ending the drought helps his legacy and story so the Canadian contenders including Edmonton and Winnipeg make sense. Maybe Minnesota since he went to Shattuck and knows Bill Guerin well. Would have said Boston due to Marchand until they went into the tank themselves.

Fair comment. I don't think he goes to Winnipeg or Edmonton for two plus years. I think he would consider it if he was a rental and it was just one run. I'm not sure Minny is enough of a contender. And yeah, no obvious connection to the Rangers and I thought about not including them but it IS New York and they are a contender so you never know!

 

[HuGort]

Ok, yes I know its never going to happen. Yes I know they are not trading him ever. Yes I know and if they do he certainly isn't going to want to come to Winnipeg

But Lets just play a game were he does request a trade and he does decide that he indeed wants to come to Winnipeg. What is a realistic value for this type of deal?

2025 1st, 2026 1st + Brad Lambert + Elias Salomonsson. Is that enough?

Flame away

If they not trading him what matters if that is enough?

This is pretty ironic, considering....

 

[Duffy13]

Since it's fantasy, I think Winnipeg is giving up way too much... I think fantastically they should be able to get Crosby for a 3rd in 2027
