Insider Suggests Sidney Crosby May Wrap Up His Career with a Different Team

Could Sidney Crosby's legacy extend beyond the Pittsburgh Penguins? It seems possible, as recent discussions on the Steve Dangle Podcast hinted at the potential for Crosby to play elsewhere upon retirement.

According to the podcast, two intriguing options for Crosby's future are the Colorado Avalanche and the Montreal Canadiens. The allure of reuniting with fellow hometown star Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado could be a tempting prospect for Crosby. The Avalanche's lineup, featuring talents like Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar, and possibly Gabriel Landeskog, presents an appealing scenario for the veteran player.

On the other hand, Montreal has long been associated with Crosby throughout his 18-year career, often surfacing in trade rumors. The dream of donning the Canadiens jersey is a sentiment shared by many who played in the QMJHL, and Crosby might not be an exception.




However, there's a counterargument for Crosby staying put. While the possibility of him leaving in two years is discussed, examples like Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, and Tuukka Rask remaining with the Boston Bruins throughout their careers provide a case for loyalty to one team.

Moreover, the presence of Mario Lemieux, another contender for the greatest Penguin of all time, actively involved with the team, could play a crucial role. If Lemieux can persuade Crosby to stay, there's a good chance the star player will retire as a Penguin, following in the footsteps of a loyal franchise legend.
