He seemed vocally frustrated with Dubas today.

I would say this doesn’t get Crosby but with the way trades went today who knows. Some trades made sense while others were just utterly baffling.
But at the end of the day Sid isn’t leaving anyways . He’s said that for years and has said it even recently

he's either okay with losing as a penguin, or he wants to win. if he wants to win montreal is one of the last places he'll want to go.
