Sidney Crosby's name just won't stop being linked to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
The buzz had quieted down for a while, but it's ramped back up in the past few hours with the release of the latest episode of the excellent podcast Processus, hosted by Simon Boisvert and Mathias Brunet.
In the episode, Boisvert mentions that he would be open to the idea of seeing Sidney Crosby land with the Montreal Canadiens.
First, he's on board because "it's not that improbable," according to him.
"The reason I'm on board is because it's not that improbable. Will it actually happen? I wouldn't bet my house on it, but there's still a path that could lead to the Penguins trading him."

He then went on to suggest a concrete offer.
Simon Boisvert weighs in on the price to pay for acquiring Sidney Crosby
Here's what a potential trade between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins could look like involving number 87, according to him:
"I don't think Ivan Demidov, Michael Hage, or David Reinbacher are in any danger.
So we'd probably be talking about the two first-round picks this year and a lower-tier prospect currently playing for the Laval Rocket, in junior, or at the college level."

That would look like this:
To Montreal:
- Sidney Crosby

To Pittsburgh:
- 16th overall pick in 2025 (1st round)
- 17th overall pick in 2025 (1st round)
- A prospect like Joshua Roy
- 16th overall pick in 2025 (1st round)
- 17th overall pick in 2025 (1st round)
- A prospect like Joshua Roy
Would you make this trade?
It might sound surprising, but like Boisvert, I believe that if the Pittsburgh Penguins do trade Sidney Crosby.. it will be on his terms, and they'll do it as a favor to him.
So, the price may not be astronomical.
