'At a Boiling Point': Josh Yohe Gives Concerning New Update on Sidney Crosby
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has spent his entire NHL career with Pittsburgh, but is that going to change at some point in the near future? Penguins analyst Josh Yohe of The Athletic implied as much.
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who was taken 1st overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft that was commonly referred to as the "Crosby Sweepstakes", has 2 years left on his contract.
But with the Penguins expected to finish at or near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, there remains the chance of Crosby eventually requesting a trade so that he has a better chance of winning as his career winds down.
Penguins analyst Josh Yohe implies Crosby could be thinking trade
Per analyst Josh Yohe, Crosby's frustrations with not winning could be reaching a "boiling point". .
Until yesterday, I never thought a Crosby trade was imaginable, despite so many in the hockey industry seemingly willing it to happen.
Now, I'm not so sure. If Brisson is indeed speaking for his client, then there is reason to believe that Crosby's frustration with the current state of the Penguins is at a boiling point.

Crosby will forever be regarded as the best player to wear a Penguins sweater behind Mario Lemieux, and even won another Stanley Cup over the pair that Lemieux hoisted during his own NHL career.
But right now, it sounds like there is a growing possibility that a trade could emerge that makes sense for both parties. It would allow Crosby to chase another championship before he retires, and would also give the Penguins the chance to command a king's ransom in return and accelerate their rebuild.
