1. Crosby will retire a penguin
2. IF Cosby ever requested a trade it wouldn’t be after this season
3. IF Crosby was traded to the AVs the package would look more like this:
Newhook
Bowers
Timmons
Byram
2 1st
Overpay.... yes.... but it would easier for the pens to get McKinnon than for the AVs to get Crosby. No disrespect, it’s just that Mario would have to convince Sid to be traded.
That's not an overpay, thats a downright heist. Crosby, with his injury history and age would not cost that much. If Pens GM we're shopping him with full intent to move him then the price would be substantially lower. It would be more like this
To Pens: Newhook, Timmons, Francouz, 1st and 2nd.

This is patently false. Not saying it would be easy to get Crosby, but you'd have to sell the farm to get Mackinnon. Crosby's never leaving the Pens though, it's just not happening, nor would the Avs ever give up a package that looks remotely like what you have above to get him.
I would “sell the farm” to get McKinnon as a pens fan, and the sad reality of it is that the pens farm is not much, has not been much, and won’t be much until Sid hangs it up.
If you mean the FARM as the current nhl players, that’s not going to happen because teams competing for a championship only trade futures; draft pics, prospects, etc.. not real core pieces.
Pens core
Crosby Malkin Guentzel Letang, maybe Marino
The rest are 100 percent replaceable[/quote]
I didn't even know the Pens had a farm lol. It's so depleted it's not even funny.
