Value of: Crosby to a contender

[HabsDood]

Hi all, take this thread with a grain of salt.. I'm just curious, the Pens might be heading for a retool soon, could be a long season..

Looking at his age (34 in '21) and contract (8.7M$ till 2025), what would be the price to acquire Sid during the season if the Pens are struggling?
What would be their need?
Would they part with him?

He’s not going anywhere. It’s been two games

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

There's no way he plays a single game for anyone but the Pens.

I can't see Crosby playing for any other team than the Penguins, and I can't imagine the Penguins not being willing to keep him until retirement.

Eh they said the same thing about Alfredsson, Modano, etc. It’s uncommon but does happen.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I think we fire the coach, GM, mayor and Biden before he gets traded.

Coach Sully is the only one worth keeping.

If they're smart, they'll trade Letang, Malkin and/or Crosby to shorten the very soon to be, inevitable rebuild & lessen the long term pain of the franchise. Tough decision to make.

 

[Morbo]

I could see Geno going, but not Sid. And even that's a pretty slim chance.

 

[Jabba11]

Bienvenue à Montréal mon cher Sid! Jk, we can't afford to trade for him.

 

[Captain Controversy]

You can have Nugent Hopkins + 2 first round picks.

I think Sully has to go. We’re 3-14 in the last 17 games and I don’t see any motivation from the players. It’s time for a new voice.

Also the Penguins can’t tank this year, they don’t have their 1st.

Can't wait to see head coach Todd Reirden behind the bench for the Pens.

Minnesota will give you your 1st rounder back for him. It's a win win because just think where that pick will end up after you trade Sid.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Wtf man Crosby makes teams contenders on his own, he isn't leaving Pitts

 

[SRHRangers]

Habs think Suzuki is better now, so they won't include him in a deal.

(Crosby is going nowhere)

 

[Sparky93]

If they start rebuilding, there's definitely players you move before Crosby and at that point, he's probably more valuable to the organization than the return. He retires a Pen, unless he wants out, at some point.

 

[Ciao]

No reason for Sid to go anywhere. He will be a lifetime Penguin.

 

[Marky9er]

This is a couple/3 years premature but it will be a major decision for the franchise. Remembering where they were before they had the fortune to draft Sid, and looking at the state of the Red Wings after retiring Lidstrom, Datsyuk, and Zetterberg.... If you take the emotional attachment away, and just focus on asset management it is going to be an infinitely more difficult decision than it was to draft him.

Montreal is probably the only other place he would play I’d reckon. I personally do not see it happening until he’s a free agent but for shits and giggles...

-Suzuki
-Danault
-Byron (for cap)
-Guhle
-Caufield
-1st, 2nd, 3rd ‘21
-1st ‘22

Still probably not enough but it gives Pitts a nice jumpstart on their inevitable retool while also allowing them to still compete today with Malkin/Suzuki/Danault down the middle.

Yup. Brodeur. Never expected that.
