Sidney Crosby Addresses Trade Rumors Amid Toronto Maple Leafs Speculation
Teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs would love to trade for a guy like Sidney Crosby, and with the Pittsburgh Penguins tanking, the rumors have gotten louder.
Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins have been going through it over these past couple of seasons, as the team appears to be in a rebuild.
Crosby is entering the final stages of his career and clearly wants to win a fourth Stanley Cup. Unfortunately, he will not be able to do so with the Penguins.
This has led to a ton of trade rumors, with the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche at the top of the list.
Of course, you can add in the Toronto Maple Leafs to the list of teams that would love to somehow get their hands on Crosby before he retires.
Sidney Crosby and the cycle of trade rumors
According to Elliotte Friedman, however, Crosby will have the final say on whether or not he gets traded. If it happens, expect it after the Olympics.
This is gonna be Crosby's call; I don't think it happens before the Olympics; after the Olympics if they're out of it...does this happen?
According to Josh Yohe of The Athletic, Crosby himself has responded to the trade rumors, and as you can tell, he does not care for them at all.
There's a lot of narratives out there, and I don't think a lot of those have come from me. This is where I want to be. I love it here.
This is going to be an interesting story to follow, and we hope that Penguins fans are prepared for the worst to happen.
There is no question that Crosby deserves to finish his career with a shot at the Cup.
