Value of: Crosby to the Avs

[olli]

What would it take from the avs for this to happen? Pittsburgh clearly isn’t going anywhere with their current core and this gives Sid a chance another chance at a cup with his buddy Nate.

He has a no movement clause so he'd have to wave it in order for a trade to happen. I believe the main reason Malkin signed his new contract was because Crosby was committed to staying with the penguins long term.

It's basically an impossibility.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I don't think he'd waive. Think he's finishing his career in Pittsburgh.

Might be a different story if he hadn't already won a Cup(s).

Agreed, this is two years too early. I also think if Crosby has the choice he will opt for a Canadian contender as it would complete his legacy as a player who really did it all.

Don't see him ever leaving the Pens... but if he were to, I could see the Avs as his only landing spot - to play with his buddy MacK.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

E+ Fug, I forget how this goes.

What about his other "buddy" Marchand.

 

[unicornBLOOD]

Seems like a long shot, but, that would make the Avs even scarier, and they're plenty scary already.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Imagine Crosby as the Avs 2C though

Terrifying. They’d probably win 2 more if Sid was playing for them if he went there this deadline

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He will retire a Penguin for life. As he should.

Just if Crosby wants and Penguins want it too.
It will start with Rantanen and Byram

Compher + Girard + Rodrigues + 2023 1ST + 2024 1ST
----- $10.5 cap hit
for
Crosby + Pierre-Oliver Joseph + Blueger (50% retained)
----- $10.625 cap hit

I don't know, seems like almost too much for Colorado to give up, but not enough for Pittsburgh to receive at the same time.

MacFarland laughs his ass off and then hangs up, and then laughs some more.

 

[xjoeyc23x]

Crosby is also very friendly with Bergy and Marchand.... Remember that line for team Canada?

I'm an Avs fan and I'd do that in a second, so Pittsburgh probably doesn't.

If Crosby goes, they're tanking for Bedard so I would think they'd want a prospect rather than a roster player. Don't know that Olausson will do it.

Crosby at 50% for third line centre on the oilers 2024

He'll retire a Penguin, but Crosby isn't waiving if it guts 2 key players on the roster.

Horrible value. Compher and Rodrigues are nothing players to try and make the cap work. Girard is a good player at best and then two scratch off lottery tickets aka late 1st round picks.

Crosby will retire a Penguins player. But if he was traded even at his age, he would receive a heck of lot more than this. Looking at the Avs prospects, I don't think they have enough. Newhook + Byram + Olausson + 2023 1st + 2024 1st still doesn't feel like enough.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Only way this could happen, if Pens decided to blow it up totally and I can't see a team with Letang, Crosby and Malkin etc ever being bad enough for that. It's a pipedream.

Retained Crosby to Avs.. Yes please, obviously..

That offer is terrible for Pitt. Literally nothing of value besides the firsts, which coming from the Avs, are late firsts. Newhook or Byram would have to be included to even get them to even consider it. Probably wouldnt even then.

 

[Hasbro]

Jost + 2nd....OH WAIT!

What would it take from the avs for this to happen?

Wouldn't take anything from the Avs, it would take Crosby demanding a trade and then you'd talk about what's going back.

lol. That’s absurd. You’re not getting a 21 year old top pair level defender in Byram for Crosby at this stage of his career. Adding on top of that is insane.

Like this OP idea (terrible one) Should be locked.

Crosby should play out his contract in Pitt and then decide if he wants to find a new club or hang them up.

Sheesh.

Comparing Newhook to Byram is exactly like comparing Krebs to Seider.

They are not even close to value equivalent.

I would say they are probably closer than you give them credit for. Byram gets overrated crazy around here.

 

[DesertPenguin]

If I told you what it would take, you would get angry. So I won't do it.

Byram outplayed eveyone on Tampa in the finals. So then Hedman is overrated like crazy around here.
