I can see your point of not wanting to lose Crosby, particularly based on were you call home .. It certainly does not affect me directly way over here in Western Canada the same way..
but I just don't see any way Crosby stays if the WHA starts up.. mainly for money reasons.. unless like you say he gets a big gift to stay in Halifax ..
and with signing ...He could do that tomorrow .. Joe Thornton Signed with HC Davos of the Swiss League and may never even get on a plane to head overseas.. its just a back up plan... Even if he signs he could still play in the Q if he chooses to..
and I look at it this way the Toro's WHA team should do everything in their power to get him signed ASAP as it adds incredible credibility to the WHA as a league.. and could be the first piece of the puzzle that gets the Snowball rolling down hill and other players signing up... With Crosby like Gretzky many years ago ..getting that marquee player in the fold would and could change the success rate of the league..
