and the day after they do that, the season ticket holders all cancel their seats, and the team goes broke.
Never gong to happen

For Pittsburgh to be able to afford trading Sid, they'd need Makar to be PART of the return... yes, Makar PLUS.

or

Mario finds the fountain of youth and comes back as an 18 year old.


One of these is more realistic than the other... and it's not trading Sid.

While I get you think trading Crosby is absurd, to think makar has less value than him is crazy. While I don't think he will.be traded and is a staple to what a penguin team is, it could in theory jump start a rebuild to bring more championship to pit. Other wise have fun living out his last years as a fringe team and starting over with nothing

I know people assume because he is good that crosby will have significant value if traded, but I honestly dont think he would fetch that kind of a return. Keep in mind he would be forcing his way to colorado making it easier for colorado to get a good deal.
