'If Crosby Seeks a Trade, the Canadiens Can Offer Exactly What He Wants', Says Insider
The situation surrounding the possible arrival of Sidney Crosby with the Montreal Canadiens is likely to be the one that draws the most attention from hockey fans.
Unlike in previous years, when rumors about NHL star players were never associated with the Canadiens, the name of the Pittsburgh Penguins forward is now more than ever linked to the Canadiens - and a well-known journalist has just added fuel to the fire.
According to Arpon Basu, who covers the Canadiens for The Athletic, Kent Hughes and his hockey operations staff are the best equipped to acquire Sidney Crosby.

In fact, this isn't just about the price to acquire his services, but also about what's needed to properly surround the 38-year-old star and support his desire to add another Stanley Cup to his already impressive resume.
The Canadiens possess one of the best groups of young talent in the entire NHL, which is an extremely appealing factor for a veteran who wants to join a team that could contend for a cup by making a major addition.
A top six composed of Crosby, Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Bolduc, and Demidov would be solid, especially when you add Hutson, Dobson, and Matheson on the back end.
All that's left is to hope that Kent Hughes and his Penguins counterpart, Kyle Dubas, can develop good chemistry to eventually start negotiations.
