Trade Crosby?

via Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

Trade Sidney Crosby.

That’s right, unload Crosby and his massive salary. For all his brilliance, and we’re not disputing that, he’s only the team’s fifth-leading goal scorer.

Think of all the young and low-salaried talent the franchise could fetch for Crosby. Teams would be lining up with their best prospect — or anyone else the Penguins might want — for a chance to obtain Crosby, who missed his 23rd game yesterday, a 7-1 rout of the Philadelphia Flyers at Mellon Arena.

With Crosby’s salary out of the way, the Penguins would have no problem keeping center Evgeni Malkin, winger Ryan Malone and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, all of whom are up for contract renewals, and at the same time adding some significant free agents.

    You must be crazy if you think pittsburgh will ever part with the world’s best hockey player. Malkin will go long before Sidney.
    Mark my words…

    This is a great way to get people reading your newspaper with a terrible story. There is no chance of Crosby being traded in at least the new two full seasons.
