Being his childhood team and Montreal should make a challenge for playoffs this season. It could be interesting. Demidov arriving next summer and Habs having 20 million in caproom it could be very interesting

Habs are gonna be bottom 10 again this season , same exact roster minus injuries coming back. Crosby will be 38 next year.
He simply doesnt fit in the team and would be completely wrong to put him over our future for a year.
Id rather have Suzuki and Dach in my top 6 center than 38 year olds Sidney Crosby.
Sounds like another case of Home Retirement ''habs was my team so pay more''.
If Crosby leaves Pitt (that's a big IF, odds are he elects to finish his career there & unlike Tampa with Stamkos, I doubt the Pens flinch at paying him full market value/term, plus he probably takes less to help them add for one last push), then I think there's legitimate reason to view the Habs as a front runner...
- childhood team + his sense of hockey history
- cap room & roster/cap situation to pay him market value on a 2-4yr deal without blowing up cap
- top 3? 5? U25 group in the league... Perfectly set up to push towards contending in that 2-4year window, especially adding a piece like him
- management group building the kind of culture a person & player like Sid will value immensely

Friedman said that Crosby doesn't want to rush into his next contract with Pittsburgh. So that leaves the door open.
He's loyal to Pittsburgh but at the same time, i don't think he wants to waste his last seasons in the league. He's too competitive for that.
I think he's gonna wait to see how the Pens season go before making a decision.
If it doesn't go well, that'll give him a justification to ask to go elsewhere.
Two of my brothers are southpaws and they both shoot right isn't it a given?

I'm right handed. Swing right, shoot right.
Thought that was pretty standard!
Thought that was pretty standard!
Right?
But it's not. A lot of right handed people play hockey left handed but swing right at golf or baseball.
That's a mystery to me.
So for this year to be 93 again , was laine trade the bellows trade ? Or would that be the upcoming Crosby trade hahahahah
It’s September , let me dream
I think you selling very short the habs young line up plus Crosby . That’s very far from a top pick lineup
Crosby is the last player in the league that needs to use habs as leverage, its actually more of a chance then you give it credit, crosby is a smart dude, if he sees that were around 85-90 points, he would look at our roster and whos comin over and no doubt he would be interested in joining us for 3-4 years as we ascend, he takes this team to a 100 points next yr
Not even then.
Fowler is more than two years older, 25% more expensive, has the same two years left on his deal, and yet Matheson put up 60% more points last year.
Matheson is worth at least two firsts, and Fowler has negative value at this stage.

That’s me. Right handed but shoot left in hockey, swing a bat right handed and I’m ambidextrous in golf though I settled swinging right as it was hard to find left handed clubs when I was younger. Weird.

I wouldn't bet against Crosby being in better shape than every single player on our roster

I'm definitely not getting my hopes up for this, but getting to see Crosby play for my team would be pretty amazing. I wouldn't even care all that much about him being on the downside of his career by that point. FWIW, he's still a heck of a player right now, as old and banged up as he is.

I think Crosby can be a point a game player until he's 40I wouldn't bet against Crosby being in better shape than every single player on our roster

I think he beats Gordie Howe's record
The subscriber base on TVA, RDS and Sportsnet would go through the roof. It would definitely be in the NHL's best interest to surrender the Crosby to us!Can you imagine the revenue on Crosby jersey sales

That list was the UFA’s in 2025 for right shot defenceman. Not a lot of options out there. I’d expect teams will overpay next July 1st, both in AAV and term, for an UFA right shot defenceman. That’s why it great Montreal has a player like Reinbacher and also why I think they should give Barron more time.

I'm left handed and do everything right handed lol golf batting and shooting
Meh
Can't see the fit being worth the cost. If he were a free or reclamation asset, sure, but I doubt the Laffs will let him go for peanuts.
