I dont think Crosby will be happy to play with zegras 😂
He will prefere to play with a smart guy like Josh Roy

But this line up is awesome

That put everybody in a good chair

S-O-O-O-O close on the Anaheim offer!

Just take out Barron and the Winnipeg first, and Zegras, and add Max Jones.

Anderson can turn it around and it’s salary going back. Barron was a first round pick who has showed he can score at the NHL level. And two firsts, one of them being Calgary’s next year (conditions). Gretzky was traded for 3 firsts +. What do you want lol.

Crosby would love this. Macklin is part of the reason he wants to come too in this scenario. But yes, everyone is in a good chair.

We want the same package for which you'd trade Cole Caufield, which we have stated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again:

Reinbacher plus your 2025 second;

Beck or Mesar plus your 2024 first; or

Slafkovsky.

Stop with the "Anderson will get better" childishness. And "salary going back" is a benefit to you, not us, so you pay extra.

Zegras would demand to leave Anaheim if he knew this is the team he is going to. I doubt another team offers a better package unless they trade back a true elite player which I doubt. Mailloux could be added instead of Barron if he has more value.

Want Zegras? Then pay for him

We aren’t taking Anderson

See what my man @OldNYIfan said if you want to see what we would accept for a guy that WAS NOT being shopped, just like we told everyone on here while he ‘was being shopped’ LOL

Montreal can send every bad contract they want for Crosby. BUT they need to attach more futures than this. Add three more firsts. Otherwise FSG won't sign off on it.

Anderson talk is so tired. If teams want a 20 goal scoring bottom 6 guy, they can find one for half the cap space in Daniel Sprong this UFA. Or they can spend similar dollars for the multiple middle 6 forwards hitting UFA that can hit 20 goals, instead of wasting trade assets on Josh Anderson

You mean ahead of Montreal in the standings next year because we have the cap space to add impact players? Since we don't have multiple Albatrosses on our roster?
