NHL Trade Rumors: 3 Teams to Watch Should Penguins Trade Sidney Crosby
The trade rumors have been flying around this week after the agent for Pittsburgh Penguins' captain Sidney Crosby stated a 'trade is a possibility' for the future hall-of-famer, all depending of course, on how the Penguins start this season.
After the team told Evgeni Malkin he won't be re-signed, and how aggressive Kyle Dubas has been on the trade market trying to create a 'new core' in Pittsburgh, Crosby's name continued to circle, but now, it's more of a possibility than ever.
"I mean, I'm answering something that - let's put it this way, it's always a possibility, you know?" Brisson said when asked if Crosby would entertain a trade. "It's been three years they haven't made the playoffs. It all depends on how Sid is going to be and how the team is going to do. I maintain the same position that I do believe that he should be playing playoff hockey every year, in my opinion."Crosby has two seasons left on his contract at his standard $8.7 million AAV, and with his full no-movement clause, and of course everything he's done for the Penguins' franchise, Dubas will hand over the keys to Crosby should a trade be materializing.
