My Crosby pitch next year

Created by: Blazingbat11
Team: 2021-22 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 3, 2021
Published: Feb. 4, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Odds of this happening....... 0.000000000000000000001%

BUT just for fun :)


First things first, MTL will not move Suzuki or KK..... it's just not happening. MTL would want to ADD to their current roster, moving one of their two elite 21 and 22 year old centers doesn't accomplish anything... so forget about them in any deal at the moment. If that means not getting Crosby, so be it. Personally I could see myself budging on KK for Crosby straight up. (I'm not saying KK is as good as Crosby *duh*, but the SIGNIFICANT age gap is the driving factor here)

PIT would most likely be able to get better individual assets from other teams, so this only really happens if Crosby pulls a "If I leave PIT, I only want to play for my childhood team" kind of situation. If Crosby has no issues going to other teams that have those aforementioned better individual assets... then no Crosby to MTL. We Hab fans can live with that.


So this is what I'm offering:

- A+ prospect (Caufield)
- 1B Goalie on a cheap 2x$2.8mil contract (Allen)
- 2 B+ prospects (PIT would have the choice between Struble, Poehling, Harris, Ylonen, Fleury. I just randomly chose Poehling + Harris)
- 2 1st rd picks
- 2 2nd rd picks
- 1 bottom 6 roster player for salary purposes (Byron).
- *Danault being included in this deal is the equivalent of a 3rd maybe 2nd rd pick. MTL are essentially just helping PIT with a sign and trade before Danault hits the open market. which holds very little value.
- *Zero salary retention on Crosby's contract*



Roster is incomplete, but with roughly $6mil in cap space. I'd see if Tatar would be interested in a 1 year deal at $4ish mil, with the promise that he gets to play with Crosby.... I think he might bite lol If not I have no issues slotting Toffoli on the #1LW and looking for one or two 3rd line wingers.

    Didn't read anything on this from anyone, just saw a bunch of posts lately on here of Crosby and wanted to put my own spin on it.

    and no way I do this for Malkin... I'm basically emptying the prospect cupboards to try and massively upgrade on Danault (as in looking for an elite 2way Center *wipes a bit of drool thinking of Crosby in a Habs uniform*) Malkin is pure offense, which is still nice, but not what I'd be looking for on this team. Also....Crosby is still better and cheaper...sooooooooo

    I agree that package won't cut it but it's not that far off. Saying that, I have to say that the blind obsession alot of Pens fans have with Sid retiring in PIT is damn sociopathic creepy. Reminds me of the last line Eminem says in the song "love the way you lie" ft. Rihanna.

    He's coming home to MTL, his true love, and you gonna get a sick package cause MTL has the assets, end of story... life goes on.
