Sidney Crosby will go down as one of the most legendary Penguins players in franchise history… but would a trade be in the best interest of both him and the team? BarDown’s Jesse Pollock explores the idea of the generational player finishing his career with another franchise, and whether or not this could be something Crosby might be contemplating.

Kyle dubas masterclass. He wins 1 round in 5 years and wants a promotion. He goes to Pittsburgh and they regress even more. He trades guentzel and now there are rumours of letang, Crosby, malkin leaving.
Can’t believe there were clowns in Toronto who were mad after he left. Trash gm
If he gets the 3rd Olympic gold to go with the 3 cups plus the rest of his hardware , he is the goat in my opinion
As a pens fan I agree It would kill me to see him go but he definitely deserves to win more he is best player in the nhl hands down I will always want that’s best for him
Stay in Pittsburgh! Or come to the Kings!
I would love to see Crosby join the Ottawa Senators. Wishful thinking message to the new owner Michael Andlauer Sid is a winner. Steve Staoes can you do magic tricks. Go Sens Go ! Lol
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but heck… if Steven Stamkos can leave then Sidney Crosby can 100% leave his team too. I know Sid has been in the show longer, but again if a franchise player like Stamkos can leave then why couldn't Sydney Crosby?
NEVER gonna happen, but Crosby and Bedrad together would be INSANE!
CROSBYYYY TO THE JETSSSSS
Trade him to the leafs for Cowan ,Minten ,Robertson..
Amazing video jesse! Totally agree!
Lifetime Pens fan here. (Since 1970) Totally agree. Would love to see him win another championship or two. Maybe Av’s, Canucks or Canes. Would be best for Pens rebuild too.
Podcast needs to come back on Spotify 🤞🏽
How many teams did Gretzky play for? Loads.
Sidney wants to retire a penguin but if he wants to win it’s better to send him to Colorado he can play with guys he’s already played with there but ain’t no telling if Pittsburgh gonna do it he already made it clear he’s retiring a penguin but time will tell
Biz said it best, "I know it won’t happen, but Crosby in Colorado would blow our brains. Can we just pretend? How unbelievable would it be to watch those two play together? If I had a Genie in a bottle and got 3 wishes, that would be one of my wishes no lie."
That was last season though.
I've heard from a reliable source in Pittsburgh sports media that Crosby is seeing if the pens are going to be competitive this year to decide if he wants to sign.
I'd be absolutely stoked if the Avs could trade for Crosby. He is an amazing player. However, I don't personally think this will be likely
Kyle Dubas you can trade Crosby to the Leafs in return for Aki Berg. Done deal. I’ll fax over the agreement.
First of all
Crosby ain’t top 5
Lemieux
Gretzky
Orr
How
Mcdavid
I'd love him to come to the capitals….the sheer fury would be hilarious
If he would agree yes trade him, if not unfortunately for what he has given the City of Pittsburgh you can't get rid of him and will have to suffer no playoffs intill you can turn over this team. Penguins are where Detroit was 7 years ago and the rebuild started 2 seasons ago, problem is they haven't started it. Its over they just haven't realized it yet.
When’s the next quiz?
Jesse is cool but this is so dumb, the reason it ruffled some feather is because it's stupid, the only people that care are Canadians who want to "bring him home" everyone else wants Sid to retire a Penguin
Kinda interesting how no one is suggesting Ovie get's traded, the Capitals are not a contender, they just made the 2nd wildcard on a tiebreaker & got swept in the 1st round and if anyone should be chasing another cup it's Ovie, he has 1 and Sid has 3 but of course Ovie is Russian so Canadian media doesn't care 😂
This entire video is painful to watch bruh
He has won enough Stanley cups. Let him come to Montreal to help the rebuild. That’s a city he wants to play for.
Brady left the Patriots because of Bill Billichick. . .
Crosby would need 1 cup to tie Gretzky's. Even 3 or 4 more cups wouldn't close that point gap Gretzky has stop it.
Facts
Jesse yap is the best
Crosby staying with Pitt would actually hurt their franchise. If they can move him at this coming season’s trade deadline, that could significantly advance their retool/rebuild.
Remember Crosby after the Guentzel trade. He was upset and couldn't play at all. This could motivate a trade away from Dubas NOT THE PENS.
Next, Crosby rules the league for stretch run. Sidney Crosby had 24 points in the final 12 games and ranked 1st in the NHL with his scoring over that stretch. The Penguins picked up points in 11 of their last 12 games going 8-1-3 BECAUSE OF CROSBY. Sid wants to win bad. Dubas screwed Sid. Dubas SUCKS. Does Sid need to get away from DUBAS THE MID?
Go to Colorado, why? They have no players of value to prepare a package for Sidney Crosby. Vancouver does however.
The Canucks have prospects Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Tom Willander, Elias Pettersson (Dman), Aatu Raty, and Jett Woo. The Canucks also have Tocchet, Rutherford, Allvin, and a habit of picking up ex-Pens players.
The return would kick off a rebuild greatly
