The Colorado Avalanche are paying close attention after NHL insider Elliotte Friedman released a shocking update on a potential Sidney Crosby trade, sending ripples through the leagie and fuelling speculation about the superstar's next move.
Crosby's future remains a hot topic, with rumours taking a fresh twist after Friedman hinted that, should Crosby entertain a trade, the Montreal Canadiens would be among the few teams he might consider.
Elliotte Friedman adds fuel to the fire amid Sidney Crosby trade rumours.
Elias Adaime from All Habs writes that, of course, nothing is official, but the mere idea of number 87 donning the blue-blanc-rouge is enough to electrify hockey fans throughout Quebec.
Rumours circulated for months, yet when they come from the NHL's most trusted insider, they take on significant credibility.
"I don't think it's impossible." -Friedman
These comments carry weight because Crosby has a no-trade clause and has always dictated his own path. The mere mention of Montreal in this context places the Canadiens in a situation that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago.
"I know the Montreal speculation has exploded; I don't think it's impossible; if he agreed to be traded, I think Montreal would be on a very short list of teams he'd be willing to consider." -Friedman
For the Penguins, such a move would signal the end of a historic era. Yet at 38, Crosby could be tempted by the chance to embrace one last challenge in an iconic hockey city.
