NHL insider Greg Wyshynski has sparked rumors about a potential trade involving Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and the Montreal Canadiens. With Crosby’s current contract with the Penguins set to expire in two years, and Pittsburgh’s recent struggles, trade speculation has been swirling around the veteran forward.
Wyshynski, speaking on The Sheet with Jeff Marek, expressed his belief that Crosby could end his career in Montreal. He highlighted the strong connection between Crosby and the Canadiens, suggesting that a move to Montreal could provide Crosby with one last shot at Stanley Cup glory.
The Penguins’ General Manager, Kyle Dubas, has reportedly been open to listening to offers for many of his players, including Crosby. This has only fueled speculation about a potential blockbuster trade to Montreal.
In response to the rumors, Crosby’s close friend Marc-André Fleury weighed in on the possibility of Crosby joining the Canadiens. Fleury acknowledged the excitement among Quebecers at the prospect of seeing Crosby play in Montreal but also emphasized Crosby’s loyalty to his team and teammates.
While Crosby’s performance on the ice continues to impress, with 31 goals and 84 points in the last season, his off-ice loyalty and commitment to the Penguins make a trade to Montreal seem unlikely, according to Fleury.
Despite the speculation and excitement surrounding a potential Crosby trade, it remains to be seen whether the Penguins and Canadiens will come to an agreement. However, one thing is for certain – the idea of Sidney Crosby in a Montreal Canadiens jersey is enough to excite fans and ignite discussions across the hockey world.
