and i know he wont be traded here

Offer McDavid and the pens might answer the phone

McDavid!

Keep dreaming haha

Might? LOL

Lmao right give up a similar player to Crosby ten years younger lmao gtfo

Why would the pens ever consider moving Crosby?

Ya you’re right. They’d answer and tell Edmonton that they wanna keep the multiple cup and conn smythe winner

This trade is remarkably short sighted. Crosby is 31 in a couple of weeks, which is 5 years older than RNH, 8 years older than Draisatl, and more than a dozen years older than the players who will be drafted in 2019 and 2020. Crosby also makes 8.7 million until he’s almost 40, by which time he’d almost certainly not be worth 8.7 million. Finally, you’re trading away more goals (49) than you’re bringing in (29), and doing nothing to address the hole on the right side.

I wish that I could give this deal zero stars.

that trade would be remember for ever

This would be great for the Oilers, but, unless they plan to lock Rutherford in a room somewhere until he signs off on it, it's definitely not going to happen. The Penguins don't even consider.



In like 5-6 years or something, it may be worth it. I'm not sure how much longer they can contend for a Cup for, as Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel are all over 30, and their cap situation is bad enough that they could start to lose significant depth (for example, Guentzel is an important playoff performer, and they likely don't have space to re-sign him without losing Hagelin and Brassard, and then Murray and DeSmith are going to need raises too, so there's no way they can keep them all without ELCs filling literally every other spot, and I don't think their prospect situation is good enough for that to be successful). In 5-6 years, Crosby will still have significant value, but probably will not be one of the best players in the League. If the Penguins aren't Cup contenders anymore at that point, which is likely, I think it may be worth it for them to move him to a contender in need of an experienced, veteran leader who can also score, in exchange for high draft picks and top prospects and such. There's no reason for them to keep Crosby if they're not Cup contenders, when they could help secure their future. That being said, if the Oilers are offering McDavid right now, I think the Penguins have something to think about. It would destroy their chemistry, but it gets them a much younger player who is scoring at a similar rate to Crosby. From the Oilers side, that's a horrible trade, though. There's no reason for them to trade McDavid for a significantly older player who, at this point, will most likely end up scoring less than McDavid. Not to mention that he's the face of their franchise (as is Crosby for the Penguins). Even Chiarelli isn't that bad....

if you are gonna get the best player in the league you gotta do alittle better. (and of course we are just talking hypothetically since it makes 0 sense for either franchise)

McDavid for Crosby would be the only real way to do it.

No hockey is not like basketball. There is actually loyalty with players and the franchise. Crosby is never getting traded and will retire as a penguin. After he retires, then the rebuild starts. Even the idea of Crosby being traded will never happen
