Value of: Sidney Crosby

[Puckstuff]

Top prospect, 1st, 3rd

 

[Silky mitts]

I feel like Tom Wilson is responsible for all of this

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I think he'd be a great fit for Washington

 

[Royal Puck]

Lekkermaki + Raty + 1st

 

[MOGlLNY]

A 1st and two blue chip prospects

Done.

But Sid would never

 

[SomeDude]

Remember you’re dealing with Dubas. You best bring your finest conditional mid round picks and 7th or 12th best prospect. Plus Michal Bunting. Clone him if you have to.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Sorry to Pens fans for having to hear this constantly. Obviously, as an Avs fan I would love to be able to somehow add Crosby, but I can't imagine having to read these every other day.

 

[Scintillating10]

Habs be interested when he hits UFA in 2025

 

[Nakawick]

A 1st and two blue chip prospects

If he was traded in the offseason at 50%, that is probably close to a return of 3 1st. May have to take a contract back, etc. but 3 premium futures for a year of Sid at 4.35 mil seems reasonable.

 

[JKG33]

I think he's as good as gone. With Dubas at the helm they're going nowhere fast, I can't see Crosby wanting to be attached to a sinking ship with that idiot in charge.

Colorado, Boston, Carolina, Detroit, Florida, Vancouver, Vegas could all make sense

With all due respect, he's probably going to a contender to finish his career, not a rebuilding team.

Also for the thread, he's gonna be 38 by the end of next season, maybe a 1st + B prospect at this point ? Every year gone by badly decreases his value at this age, there's no guarantee he'll produce like this next season.

 

[SomeDude]

I would think that after July when Sid signs an extension these threads will stop but knowing this place people will propose sign and trades.

 

[Tatar Shots]

this isn’t your traditional rental so him becoming a ufa I don’t think diminishes his value as much your average pending ufa. Likely he will get permission to discuss an extension with the new team. It will probably take multiple 1st round picks and prospects.

Eh, I disagree. When you’re trading a player of Crosby’s caliber and a franchise legend, you’re also doing it as favor and thank you to him. If Crosby wants to be traded, he’s picking where he’s going and the Penguins are not going to block him.

 

[Cancuks]

If Crosby asks for a trade, he'll be picking the team he wants to go to and the return won't make any Pens fans happy. Probably along the lines of what Jagr got when he was traded to the Caps.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

 

[Silky mitts]

If they keep their 1st this year, I assume SJS gets their 1st next year. And if this is what they look like right now, that’s a probable top 5 pick without 87.

 

[Carlzner]

God he would be so good on the Avs

At this point I don't care anymore. Dark days are ahead, i'm fine with that. I wanna see Crosby win another cup, Malkin too if he's able to.

Would MacKinnon play wing with Crosby? that would be something.

Only if Marchand joins them like their summer workouts.

I'd like to see him as a 2C with Nichushkin. They would be unreal together and what a top 6 that is.

 

[McJedi]

I ask this questions because things clearly arent working in Pitt right now and his post TDL interview was depressing to watch.

I cant imagine he’s thrilled with going through another year of this.

With that said, what is the value of a 37 year-old Sid with 1 year left at $8.7mm cap hit?

I also recognize Sid if moved would decide where exactly he gets moved to which will diminish the return.

I imagine he’d want to get out of the east due to his loyalty to the pens. The obvious one to me seems like the Avs.

Did y'all miss the trade deadline? The Avs just traded for their new 2C. That was, by far, their biggest roster flaw. It’s now filled. Probably by a guy that signs an Extension of some kind the summer. They have an expensive 3C too. Avs are set down the middle.

So unless Crosby wants to become a big RHD, the Avs no longer need him. He no longer fills a formerly glaring hole in their roster.

So remove Colorado from this conversation. Try Boston. He’d fill a need there.

He can re-sign there after on a 2 year deal.

if Crosby wants to come to Colorado in the off-season, you have to try and pull it off. Unless his game falls off a cliff soon, it’s worth the difficulty of making the moves required

Crosby to Boston

Bergeron comes out of retirement

Like trading away Mitts? That really seems stupid and unrealistic. The Avs no longer have this massive hole at 2C. They just filled it.

Replacing Mitts with Crosby isn’t the move we’d make to go for the Cup. That’s like a bizarre sideways move now.
