With just a few days to go before the official start of the 25-26 NHL season, a few issues are still attracting a lot of attention: Mason McTavish and Luke Hughes, who are still out of contract for the upcoming campaign; Kirill Kaprizov and Connor McDavid, two guys entering their final year in the NHL who could break the bank by next summer… Oh, and it’s no secret that Sidney Crosby will continue to be the talk of the town. At least, as long as he’s part of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization… The Kid wants to win, and that’s no secret either. At least, if it’s supposed to be… it’s not a secret that’s very well hidden. Hehe. All kidding aside, this is really one of the reasons why Crosby might want to change his address. He might want to give himself a chance to make the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup because he doesn’t like losing – and because the Penguins won’t be winning much in the next few years. And now, Elliotte Friedman (The FAN Hockey Show) even thinks that some of Crosby’s entourage have talked to him about the situation.It must be playing on his mind…

Making the decision to leave the Penguins (if it comes to that) won’t be easy.
Sidney Crosby has spent his entire career in Pittsburgh, he loves the organization, the city, the fans, he’s loyal to his club… but on the other hand, he also knows that the team can’t offer him what he wants right now.And there he is, the biggest factor in the equation. Crosby wants to stay in Pittsburgh because he wants to continue to help the Penguins. He wants to be there for the fans who have supported him so much since his arrival in the National League. But maybe, just maybe, that can be done by asking for a trade – and allowing Kyle Dubas to pick up pieces that can help in the future. It’s Sidney Crosby who will make the decision to stay or not… and if we keep hearing about it, maybe it’ll convince him to make his choice.
