Crosby: 'Montreal probably wouldn’t hesitate to offer its two first-round picks in 2025'

Sidney Crosbys future will always be the talk of the town.

In fact...

Sidney Crosbys future will always be the talk of the town, as long as the situation in Pittsburgh doesnt improve.

And its not going to get any better either...

The question on everyones mind is this: Is Sid really interested in ending his career with a club thats going nowhere? We know his competitive side.

We know he hates to lose and that the Penguins wont be winning much in the next few years, until Crosby retires.

Even so, hell be celebrating his 38th birthday in August...

We also know that the option of seeing him in Montreal is popular with some.

And on that note, if the Habs ever wanted to go after him...

Mathias Brunet had this to say, in a recent article : Montreal (the Canadiens) wouldnt hesitate to offer their two first-round picks in 2025 to get him.

Mathias Brunet The Habs as the draft approaches: anticipate the unpredictable.

https://t.co/fFBmVft7aI Mathias Brunet (@mathiasbrunet) June 23, 2025 Theres a popular opinion about the possibility of the Habs moving to get Crosby out of Pittsburgh.

Sure, picking up #87 is attractive...

but at the same time, according to many, the Canadiens shouldnt empty their prospect bank either.

I tend to agree with that.

I love the Kid.

On the other hand, he doesnt have 10 more years of hockey to give, and if the Habs want to be competitive in the future with the players they have in place, Kent Hughes shouldnt sacrifice everything hes got either.

That said, giving away two first-round picks and perhaps another quality prospect to acquire Crosby makes sense.

The Canadiens already have good prospects, they have a good young core of players with good potential (as we saw last season) and we also know that there are no guarantees with a draft pick because science isnt exact.

But I find it hard to believe that Kyle Dubas would be interested in making a deal like this.

Because, in reality, it would look bad in Pittsburgh...

in everyones eyes.

Overtime All the better.

Retirement will have to wait! https://t.co/hM32folQdR TVA Sports (@TVASports) June 23, 2025 Indeed.

GM Daniel Briere on Trevor Zegrass dip in production with @AnaheimDucks : Thats why he was available.

Top six talents are very, very rarely available.

We felt that was worth the risk.
