A recent report has sparked major buzz around the NHL, suggesting a potential blockbuster trade in the works that would send Pittsburgh Penguins legend Sidney Crosby to the Colorado Avalanche, with rising star Martin Necas heading the other way.
Crosby has been linked to the Avalanche in a potential blockbuster trade to reunite him with his hometown friend Nathan MacKinnon.
Crosby trade rumours heating up.
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
And we're definitely going to keep talking about it, especially after Mark Kiszla from The Gazette recently suggested a wild trade proposal between both teams that has hockey fans buzzing.
"If the Avs offered Martin Necas and a future draft pick as the primary components in a trade for Crosby, who says no? Joe Sakic had Ray Bourque to motivate him to hoist the Stanley Cup for the second time. Wouldn't we all love it if Nathan MacKinnon won a championship alongside his childhood hero?" -Kiszla
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 over the offseason.
