No way Pittsburgh considers this. You’re going to have to trade pieces you don’t wanna move

Keep the first round pick in the trade, and then build a completely new one. If the penguins are blowing it up, the first round pick is the only interesting piece in there.

Spoiler alert, it’ll cost Suzuki.

I dont see how you get crosby without Suzuki or atleast kk and a bunch of young stuff. I'll take byron if you pay me. but I'm not giving a 3rd. I dont hate the player but im not paying a guy in the bottom 6 that money in this market. I could get 2 of him in free agency next season.

Not suzuki, but kotkaniemi probably

Suzuki, Romanov, Primeau are the futur of their position with montreal.

If crosby want out, the price will be lower than if he want to stay by logic

Stop. Please... Crosby will be a Thornton is 3 years.

Stop selling the future... it's trading McDonagh for Gomez all over again... Stop.

No, Suzuki. The penguins are likely very happy to let their legend retire a penguin. There’s no indication that Crosby wants out.

No Suzuki, no Crosby. Amazingly, the rest of the league doesn’t exist to benefit the habs. Need to make a case for Pittsburgh being happy with the trade too.

I'm guessing Pitts will ask the moon from all teams, but won't get it. Plus, while Suzuki is a great player, he's not the type to build around. They'll need to take in some cap money back from whoever they trade with.

Avs may trade with Pitts, but they have expensive players that are at the end of the line else they get rid of their core players which makes no sense. Tatar is a filler here, Danault can help until they are back on track with a solid 2nd line center, Mete and Evans fill in long term help in the third line and 2nd pairing.

But That's just my view.

There are no Crosby talks.

It’s all just speculation and conjecture.

He is not being shopped or discussed.

It would take something you are not willing to part with to do it.

There will come a time when they might have to consider it. But it isn’t now.

Crosby basically said if he left it’d be to help rebuild the team, he wouldn’t put them in a position to take pennies in the dollar

You forgot to take Nielsen and dekeyser back to Montreal in that horrible the guy just got waived and could be had for free trade cracker jack

I said IF, huge IF, IMO crosby stay to teach young futur core for Pittsburgh.

But are saying that kk as no value?? Why spit on kk??

I know, hence why no Suzuki, Kk or Ghule in the trade. Evans and Mete are very good players that can help, with Danault and Tatar you provide a solid 2nd line help Pitts, Tatar may leave next year or stay for a lower cost. With the number of picks Habs have in the next draft, they can give the 1st to get Crosby.

Well.... That's what these armchair GMs post are about... Those speculations...

How could you possibly take what i said and turn it into that? Holy crap dude. Be better.

Kotkaniemi is a pennie????🤨🤨🤨
Suzuki, romanov, primeau are untouchable period.
Kotkaniemi + picks +++ others to balance (not byron alike)
Are not necessarily pennies.

Just to repeat myself: IMO crosby stay to teach young futur core for Pittsburgh. Period

Crosby a legend and will stay in Pittsburgh IMO

Because you show no consideration to KK , we both need to be better,
I agreed i can choose better words to express my opinion,
But be open to discuss about ideas that others people bring on this forum.

Choose a better way to say No suzuki no crosby, be open to discuss

You just took a ridiculous angle. I didn’t mention KK and you start ranting and raving about how I’m spitting on him?

No, I’m not going to choose a better way of saying that.

If the Habs want to trade for Crosby, they would have to send Suzuki in return.

I agree!

I ask you about KK
Why not KK explain yourself,

KK is good. He has value. Never said he didn’t. Never mentioned him.

No way a rebuilding team gives up a 3rd for a 31yr old bottom 6 winger. Have you read any other Montreal ACGMs lately. There were a couple from yesterday hoping someone will claim Bryon off waivers because Byron just doesn't have much value to another team.

So you don’t want him even if he as value?

Never said I (Pittsburgh, I have no personal value for these players) wouldn’t want him.

Never mentioned him.

So you say Pittsburgh wouldn’t want him; why? He’s a young center with great potential

I’ll give you 10 billion dollars if you could show me where i said Pittsburgh wouldn’t want him.
