Thread: Karlsson to OTT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Celtics21</b></div><div>The question is whether San Jose believes that Pittsburgh is going to get worse next year and wants to diversify the risk. I wouldn’t give up a top 10 pick,.</div></div>

The pick is top 10 protected so if we finish in the bottom 10 it is our decision not SJs if we keep this year's and give them next year's instead, at least that's how I understand it. I imagine we would do that bc it's a guaranteed Top 10 pick (bird in hand philosophy and also whoever we draft would be, assuming all things go well, ready earlier than a 1st round pick in 2025) although of course it's a very real possibility we are worse next year so it's definitely a decision that needs to be contemplated on. I can't imagine if we do finish bottom 10 we don't give them the 25th 1st instead but who knows but as far as I know if we finish bottom 10 it's our decision not SJs...

Thread: Sid does not understand direction of Dubas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>I dunno about Colorado. I mean, better team, sure. But if he wins there, vs. if brings cup number 25 to Montreal?

Number 87 in the rafters? Oh my god…

He definitely has had this cross his mind.

And I fully agree. That move would instantly make Geoff Molson millions upon millions of dollars in extra ticket revenue, ad revenue, beer revenue…</div></div>

You're right. Crosby isn't Lebron he wouldn't just choose the best team. If colorado just because his best buddy Mackinnon is there lol he's very competitive of course playing playoff hockey is important to him but he wouldn't just solely be swayed by going on the best team. Continuing to speak hypothetically bc i don't think he's going anywhere but yes Montreal would be top of the list and if he brings a cup there hed be even more immortal, itd be something to see for sure...

Thread: Sid does not understand direction of Dubas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wreckless</b></div><div>Yep, nothing’s changed about what he’s decided to say publicly.
And his desire to do this, is in direct conflict with his desire to have meaningful seasons at the end of his career.
My guess is the latter wins out.
I can’t possibly state enough what the experience would be like for him if he came here.
He would literally transform the entire culture of our province.
We have the young core in place to support him.
It’s his childhood team.
It’s the perfect fit.</div></div>

Colorado would be before MTL. Sid has earned whatever he wants. Obviously if we were rebuilding it'd be more beneficial to the rebuild to get the absolute haul and the draft picks that Sid would bring (and for the receiving team youre selling out every single game at a 50% price increase) and if Sid wants to go then I know for a fact we would honor that. He's earned his say. If he wants to stay, stay. However, Sid has always said that it's important to him to only wear one jersey for his whole career. So idk. Outside of punditry and speculation I've never seen Sid say anything other than it's still important to him to retire a Penguin.
