The Sidney Crosby trade rumours continue to heat up and according to a recent report, his time with the Penguins can be over sooner than later after his inner circle reportedly wants him out of Pittsburgh as soon as possible.
Crosby trade rumours heating up.
Elias Adaime from Habs Fanatics writes that the speculation is swirling largely because it makes logical sense for Crosby to move on from Pittsburgh, who appears to be entering a lengthy and difficult rebuild.
However, several insiders still believe that No. 87 is determined to finish his career with the Penguins. The subject was recently discussed by none other than Elliotte Friedman.
So, what do the people who genuinely know Sidney Crosby think? What are those in his inner circle actually saying? That very question was tackled by Friedman in the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast.
"I know everyone asks about Sidney Crosby; I've said people in Crosby's orbit want him to go; Crosby hates it when this stuff starts; someone said to me if you really want Crosby to leave, don't talk about it" -Friedman
One of Crosby's close contacts even dropped an intriguing hint, revealing that several people in his inner circle are hoping he decides to move on.
This will likely remain a situation worth monitoring, and while a potential trade between the Avalanche and Penguins can't be ruled out entirely, perhaps the smartest move for now is to let the speculation rest.
