If you go over to the Pens board you will see that the Pens have deep pocket owners and don't need the money. the NHL wqould have to approve the trade and doubt they would even for say 20mm

No, it will be $100 Million and then 3:27 into his first game, Crosby shatters his left leg, never to play again.

Not only do I want Crosby in a Rangers uniform because I'm a Ranger fan, but also because I don't feel like changing my username.

If money is not allowed to be included in a trade, how about this: NYR trades to get the number 2 pick. They pay the team with the number one pick 100 Billion Million dollars, and that team for some strange reason decides to take Johnson at #1.

$100m? That'd be the rights to the entire franchise. Then they can trade him to themselves

Cash can no longer be part of a trade.
