I would make peace with it if they want out, as they've earned the right to do what they want. With that said, I'd rather they stay here, even if it means never playing another playoff game again.
No, but he has. At some point a franchise player should look at other options if they've never won, but once you've won it and built that legacy I'd say it's a different story.But if he didn't win, would you still be saying that and against trading him?
Careers are short, players dreams are to win as many cups as they can. I'd never ask someone to be loyal on a sinking ship when they can get more cups but that's me. Pens will still be fine without him, we survived before him afterall. We will never have this type of core again, but most teams don't.
Woukd live to see Sid , Gino, Letang all on other teams. Entire league woukd look better.This is purely hypothetical, obviously, but with all the talk about rebuilding, picking a lane etc... how would you feel if Sid and/or Geno got traded or walked?
Would you applaud ownership/staff for taking a tough decision, or put the blame on them for allowing them to leave? Any other emotions or thoughts? Again, purely hypothetical. If they are traded, assume Penguins get a reasonable haul. What reasonable means in this context is up to you.
Me, I want them to be lifers - but I'm more of a passive fan anyway, so interested to hear what you think.
Yzerman and Lidstrom retired as Red Wings.Superstar duos who played their whole careers with the same team that drafted them:
Nobody.
Sid and Geno would be the first ones.
Do we consider The Sedin's superstars?Yzerman and Lidstrom retired as Red Wings.
By superstar I basically mean generational talent. Specifically ones who won Cups. So no. But they’re the closest I guessDo we consider The Sedin's superstars?
For a good period of their careers they were, so yeah I guess so, them too. They won some decent hardware, each.Do we consider The Sedin's superstars?
I would never hate sid or geno as much as i hatred giroux or hartnell, thoughMy own personal creedo is I am actively hostile to any player who is on any other team. No, I do not plan on changing this for Sid or whoever.
Not me. Sorry, rules are rules, and I don’t make ‘em.I would never hate sid or geno as much as i hatred giroux or hartnell, though
Sid is a 1OA as is Kane. Kane was moved at the TDL of his final year under contract. Has now signed a pair of 1 year deals with Detroit. New regime in chicago and there's no one else left from their last cup win in 2015. And clearly, are not in a position to return to the POs. Detroit isn't exactly a great team either but better chances than in Chicago.I kind of look at Ryan Getzlaf for this, he was a trooper and he probably should have been dealt in his later years to be a depth player on a contender, but he stayed and retired with the Ducks and didn't play in the playoffs for 4 straight seasons.
There's a very good chance that's how it ends for Sid, Geno and Letang under Sullivan in their final 3-4 seasons.

Odd username, in that case.I have way more of an attachment to Geno than Sid. Geno is probably my third-favorite player of all time...definitely top 5. Sid is not in my top 10.
Geno has always gotten the shaft, Sid is only getting it now.
Odd username, in that case.
It’s bizarre how much the Canadian media loves this topic. It bothers them so much that their golden boy has played in an American city his entire career.I think the part that is being under-reported here in Canada (which has suddenly gone crazy with "Sid must leave Pittsburgh" talk lately), is Sullivan. If we are right about our beliefs on this matter, it is not only ownership that wants this coach here (still). It is the core. Canada does not understand this point.
