Pears Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Gonna sign for another $8.7 million on the 8th day of the 7th month because why wouldn't he 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Poor Sid. Just playing out the rest of his career with no hope of winning another cup. Probably shooting for 2000 points and 700 goals. I think he'll break 2000 points. If he does, I would put him at either #5 or #6 on my list of the greatest hockey players ever. Sid and Jagr, coin flip... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Crosby in the folds I don’t think the penguin can go into a full rebuild which they desperately needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Crosby retires, Pittsburgh will go into a full rebuild. They will be like Chicago. Probably get the #1 overall pick at some point and the next Crosby... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid and Jagr, coin flip... I dunno, I can see how some fans might view it that way but I'd be a bit surprised if he did. He's won pretty much everything he can, he's still playing at a high level, and he clearly loves being a Penguin. Dude just seems to straight up love playing hockey too, him and Mac are similar in that they're both health/fitness nuts too. This isn't to say he doesn't want to make the playoffs, but he had some pretty great players to play with when he was coming up, I could see him being content to be that guy for the upcoming crop of Penguins. I he plays another 5-6 years I could definitely see him hitting 2k, and given how he played last season I don't see why he couldn't. 22 minutes ago, bh90 said: at first i thought you're joking.... had to look it up did not realize that he's made 8.7 mil per for that long ... pretty odd/cool/weird thing lol It's honestly a bit wild eh? 21 minutes ago, wai_lai416 said: Possible but the penguins realistically have 1 or 2 more season left of having a slim chance of making the playoff.. while it’s great he retires as a penguin for life it screws with the teams rebuild and could make them mediocre/bad for 10+ years while he gets paid. With Crosby in the folds I don’t think the penguin can go into a full rebuild which they desperately needs Mmm, I get what you're saying but the Pens could certainly do a helluva lot worse than having like Crosby and Letang around as they integrate more youth into the lineup (I think Malkin will be the first to retire). Even as a team that trends down, they'll still need someone playing in the top six, they'll still need to have vets. I don't personally see having Crosby around during a rebuild as a bad thing. No, they might not bottom out and get a top 3 pick with him around, but that doesn't mean they couldn't successfully rebuild. I get the Sedin comparison, but the big difference is that this future hall of fame Pens core won three cups. Many Canuck fans would happily eat being bad/mediocre for a decade plus if it meant just winning one. Pens fans have been ridiculously spoiled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand his compete and desire to win but there really wasn't a reality where he was going to leave Pittsburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegend Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I would currently rank Crosby as #5 overall, slightly ahead of Jagr, Richard, Beliveau, and Ovechkin. It will be interesting to see where McDavid will rank in a few years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orr for me is higher than Lemieux. Gretzky, Orr Lemieux and Howe for me. Not sure I'd put Sid over Howe either. Jagr in his prime was better than Sid. Won 5 scoring titles without Lemieux. If Jagr had stayed in the NHL, he easily breaks 800 goals and 2200+ points. I'd go Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux, Howe, Jagr and Sid. I'd probably put Sid ahead of Jagr once he retires... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Quite possibly the last contract of his career. He turns 37 this summer and will be 38 when his extension takes effect (assuming he gets one). I wonder if he'll aim to play past 40? He'll very likely be capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to think where Sid might be ranked according to the greats. He's had an impact on the game, for sure, but he never really turned into a legendary player as some were projecting he could have been when he was younger. I like him as a player, but Sid/Jagr tie for somewhere around #10 in my mind. My order would be Gretzky/Orr/Lemieux in Tier 1 (just a level of skill and compete above the rest), then Howe/Bossy in Tier 2 (both players could do extraordinary things, and Bossy may well be your #2 all time points leader and #1 goal scorer if his career hadn't been sidelined by back issues), and Yzerman/Ovi/Peter Stastny/Daddy Hull/Phil Esposito/Dionne/Sid/Jagr/Rocket Richard in Tier 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
