Umm because it's way more fun to discuss Crosby than discussing a minor trade like picks for Drew O'Connor lol..Why is everyone jumping to Crosby? Maybe stay with realistic possibilities like Pettersson, Beauvillier, O'Connor, etc.
Or even some of their roster players on longer contracts that isn't their franchise piece that's one of the few guys Pittsburgh refuses to trade.
probably not as much as people think. ifcrosby was willing to waive he would only waive for a few teams or maybe even just colorado. middlestadt, ritchie, 2x 2nd's?What would a Crosby trade look like. Would the avs do two 1st round picks+
IMO he would be stupid to do that. If he was on an expiring contract and could return to the Penguins next season that would be smart. Since he isn't he should care more about his new team being as good as possible while he is there.Yeah, IF Sid requests the trade, he's not going to let the other team get him on the cheap. He'd only go if the deal.made sense for the Penguins. You might laugh, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that's true.
You would probably be surprised to see a good chunk of the Penguins board happy to see Crosby get off of this current team/FO and have another opportunity to cement his legacy.I hope it’s a Crosby deal to watch Turin and the Penguins board implode
Probably not happening though
low IQ takeRantanen is leaving because he is greedy.
It's more like Rantanen is leaving because Colorado can't afford him.low IQ take

Won't afford him.
They are capable of paying his ask, but they will not. It would mean Makar walks
Toronto's been better at goal this year than Jarry has been, they can't afford him, and the little space they do have is likely reserved primarily for a 3rd line C. Despite goaltending injuries, in no way does a Jarry trade make sense for them.Will laugh if its Jarry to Edmonton or Toronto

Hence why I would "laugh".Toronto's been better at goal this year than Jarry has been, they can't afford him, and the little space they do have is likely reserved primarily for a 3rd line C. Despite goaltending injuries, in no way does a Jarry trade make sense for them.
He's a tier above Pagnotta, but he definitely does like to "call" things before they're done or intimate as such.Weekes is just an engagement baiter. Probably one of the least professional "insiders".
What does this have to do with Pittsburgh?Mittelstadt + Necas for JT Miller + 1st round pick.
Van:
Boeser - Pettersson - Necas
DeBrusk - Mittelstadt - Sherwood
Joshua - Blueger - Garland
Hoglander - Suter - Heinen
It could work.
