I don't see Crosby wanting to spend the final years of his career getting beat down. Wouldn't surprise me if he's on a new team by this fall.

Drakrami Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 40 minutes ago, IBatch said: What the rumour is. Crosby has told Dubas, he'd be willing to do "the right thing" by PIT, and approved 3 teams. Vancouver is actually considered the front runner. Because of his relationship with Tochett, and JR and Allvin. Maybe he'd prefer to play with McKinnon though. As their second line center. OR maybe he'd prefer to be back with Tochett, and dishing pucks with EP. He won't have to be "the man" on either team. Same with TO, well not as much. Maybe he would. Says he wants a shot at another cup. A year ago, this would look like fantasy. But the Canucks out of these 3 teams, actually is IMO, his best chance and not being a homer. Fingers crossed!! Crosby coming here would be the best thing ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likely would cost us our entire farm of prospects. You'd have to think it would be a 1st + top 2 prospects. Makes you wonder if instead of Lindholm, we could have had Crosby for 1st 2024, Hunter B + Lekkerimaki. I would probably do it for 2 years of Crosby.

One of the best players to ever the play the game (and is still playing at a high level) would cost multiple 1sts, one to two top prospects, and a star roster player. That's the bare minimum.

Crosby is a sure fire HOFer, one of the best players ever, but he is at the end of his career though. If that's the price I don't see teams biting just because those teams will be pushing for cups and are unlikely to be willing to depart with a currents tar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower102 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This is the type of thing that makes hockey less logical than other sports. In the NHL this is highly unlikely to happen, other sports it is almost guarenteed to happen. Pitt can do an instant rebuild by selling on the guys they have, Crosby won't languish his last few years in a dying Pitt squad, and whoever gets him because cup favorites for a couple years. If I'm the Canucks I offer: Mikeyhev Pod Raty Lekkermaki Silovs and 2 firsts I would still try to hold onto Willander but essentially every other prospect is open. I'd do Willander as well if it was more quality of quantity (Willander, Lekkermaki, 1st, Mikeyhev). Hoglander Crosby Lindholm (hogs and Lindholm possess similar styles to Marchand and Bergeron, obviously not anywhere near as good, but we know that Crosby plays well with their styles).

Just like the Sedins staying here. Althoughhhhhh, Van is a fair bit nicer place to live than Pit 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Miller Boeser Joshua Blueger Garland Bains/Di Guessepi Suter Lafferty Thats WAY too much. Thats essentially 4 1sts, a roster player, a decent prospect C, a good prospect goalie for a guy that is 36 years old and would realistically only be the 3rd best forward on the team even if it is crosby. If we are trading away that many assets i'd rather go all in and offer Chicago 5 1st round picks and some other prospects for Bedard. Crosby is still good and would love to have him.. and would give a nice package to get him.. but that is too much for a guy that is 27 this summer and wouldn't be the best player on the team.

That’s the difference in attitude of wanting a playoff appearance or wanting to go after the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. I think this could be closer to a reality than most think. It would sure change the team in a big way. If it did happen, which I’d probably support, even if it means draining our prospect pool and picks, do you think Hughes would keep the captaincy? I’d hope so. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissex95 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Raty, Podkolzin, 2025 1st and 2026 4th for Crosby Crosby instantly becomes our best player and we can use him for another run next year, albeit it will be harder to contend with so many free agents and after trading away a blue chipper in Ray and a good projected top 9 guy in Podkolzin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
