The name Sidney Crosby has been linked to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens for a while now, sometimes seriously, sometimes less so. I have to admit, I never really believed it.. until today.
Now, let me be clear: I'm not saying it's going to happen, or even that I think it's likely to happen, but it's definitely starting to seem a little more real.
Kent Hughes has seriously asked a former Montreal Canadien whether he should try to acquire Sidney Crosby
That shows the idea is on his mind.
"Kent Hughes asked me if he should go get Sidney Crosby," said Yvon Lambert during the latest episode of Ça sent la coupe with Mario Langlois, Pierre Gervais, Stéphane Waite, Daniel Boucher, and Yvon Lambert.
Now that's a very interesting development.
So, what did Yvon Lambert say in response?
"I said yes, absolutely!
Go get Sidney Crosby!"
- Yvon Lambert
Sidney Crosby and
Nick Suzuki as your top two centers? That sounds pretty good.
At 37 years old, Crosby is showing no signs of slowing down.
This season, he racked up 91 points in 80 games, including 33 goals, all while playing on a very average Pittsburgh team.
If Crosby wants to play playoff hockey next year, he's got a much better shot of doing that in Montreal than in Pittsburgh, if you ask me.
