It's never gonna happen. We don't have the cap space. We barely have the assets without crippling a huge part of the team. It's cool to dream and what not though. He's retiring as a Penguin anyway.

There's a better chance at going after Malkin if you really wanna go for it.

Yeah Crosby isn’t coming to Toronto. He wouldn’t have signed an extension if he didn’t plan on retiring a Penguin.

 

[ToneDog]

Got to think in this hypothetical world it involves multiple firsts and Cowan as a starting point. Maybe Danford as well?

It would be some out of this world price.

If Crosby is worth 4 firsts, what is Matty or Mitch worth? No interest in kick starting Kyle's rebuild. He can enjoy drafting in the top 5 until he is fired.

And we'd still need 50% retention, at the least just to take him on

I mean Crosby has had a hand in roster decisions and coaching decisions. He’s embedded into that franchise and not going anywhere.

Wonder if he walks into a front office job right after retirement

 

[All Mod Cons]

I honestly don't think it amounts to much when adding Robertson Kampf, Niemela, Jarnkrok, Steeves, Abruzzese, Dewar or Hirvonen.

It's just a bunch of stuff that other team already have, or don't really want

Oh they would be worth a ton.

I don't think the price to pay for Sid would be worth it. The rumour mill is kind of stupid tbh.
