But I just want to have as many Peteys as we can get... Lucas Pettersson would be a nice add to the team. Fostered in the same team that the Sedins and Gradin came from. But we need one more Petey - Petey - x Petey - Petey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Canucks fans it would be Garland and a 1st for Crosby at 50%… Raymond Ballard and a second for Crosby .... got a bit of flak for being "unrealistic" at the time, so changed it to a first. Joking aside, it's still fun when someone has the cajone's to make a proposal, some of the things Alvin's managed didn't seem "realistic" either.

Then maybe straight back to Pittsburgh or play for his childhood team Crosby is too pure and devoted to Pittsburgh.

SnakeDoctor Posted Saturday at 10:22 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:22 PM I would rather keep Garland. Trade him at the deadline if needed but with 2 years left on his deal he still has lots to prove for his next contract if he wants to keep the pay level. That should keep him focused on his game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted Saturday at 10:27 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:27 PM 1 hour ago, Gawdzukes said: Crosby is too pure and devoted to Pittsburgh. I don't see him chasing a cup anywhere else. He's said he's not interested in playing anywhere else for years. He said so earlier this spring, and just this week he expressed confidence in a deal getting done before the season; it'll probably come with term, and the term will probably be dictated by how long he wants to keep playing, it's hard to see the Penguins giving him anything less. The fact people keep bringing up the possibility of him playing elsewhere at this point is silly. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3071393/crosby-pretty-optimistic-hell-sign-extension-before-season 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely done with the "improving". He is what he is at this point. A small,high energy player who's good for 50ish points. Nothing to sneeze at to be sure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman955 Posted Sunday at 06:36 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:36 PM Is Garland worth more? Can anyone name a better third line in the league? That 3rd line is our meat line. No fear,relentless and dangerous. When we need to replace any or all of the 3rd things will fall into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to be realistic; however, to put things into perspective, Miller was 26 when he was traded over to the Canucks. The years leading up to now were huge for his development. I get that 26 and 28 is still a difference, but Garland could still very much improve, especially given his work ethic. Yes, Garland and Miller's game is quite different, with some similarities. I'm not meaning to put them as equals. That said, Garland has had his best year as a Canuck and it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could do even better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastExpress Posted Sunday at 07:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:56 PM Perhaps at the TDL if we have enough cap accrued, we can trade Garlund and Poolman to Pitts for Crosby as a rental. If we cannot re-sign Crosby I am sure Pens do in July? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends if Pitts has any chance. But when it gets down to it Crosby would likely prefer: 1. A canadian team with a chance to win it all 2. Not Toronto 3. An "underdog" team that has the pieces 4. A coaching and Management staff he can trust to let him go back to Pens as a UFA in July. 5. A team that allows him to beat McDavid, McInnon, and possibly Matthews in the same playoff run Edited Sunday at 08:16 PM by EastCoastExpress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing he has said is that he wants to re-sign with the Pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he'd want to play with his buddy MacKinnon. You can make arguments for a few teams but at the end of the day he's given no indication that he's interested in leaving Pittsburgh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but on the same note, does he want to end his career this way? Rumours are Malkin is done after this season, the rest of the team is washed up, nothing really promising on the horizon. It’s going to be pretty ugly. At least at the TDL, it’s a short stint, it gives back to the organization and he can come right back and sign like nothing happened.

CanuckMan Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:00 PM Crosby just signed for 2 more years. Thankfully that puts to rest the ridiculous trade proposals. He was never going to come here or go anywhere else. He will retire a penguin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
