Sid | The Steve Dangle Podcast

[@jayvardy]

Crosby's favorite player was Yzerman and his mentor was Mario Lemieux. Both those guys played with one team their whole career and one of them was Pittsburgh. He's earned the right to stay or leave and the decision is entirely his.

[@KevynKing]

Yzerman was almost traded to the Senators in the mid 90s and from what I recall, Yzerman was okay with getting traded but it was nixed by ownership. Everything worked out after that - but it came close.

It's totally plausible Crosby takes a trade. But Malkin and Letang have to be gone as well. C.J. never brought that up. No way Crosby let's those guys rot in Pittsburgh while he gets traded to a contender. He had to talk Malkin into signing that deal. He's not going to leave his teammate of almost 20 years hanging. He is a leader. He doesn't need to catch a ride to the Stanley Cup. He's done that. 4 times. Won 3.

[@Kraken_What]

Just so everyone knows Seattle is in a tax free state. The State of Washington always gets looked over when they talk about players looking for a tax free contract.

[@LBaumgardner19]

If Crosby stays, that literally means quite the opposite that Malkin and Letang have to go. Crosby is the reason those two are re-signed. Crosby went to Florida to convince Geno to come back and keep those 3 together. Why would he do that and then have them get traded or leave himself?

[@shreksswamp1182]

Because at that point there was still hope they could go for another cup. At this point after losing guentzel and all the other guys getting older there is no chance this team isn’t in the bottom 10.

[@LBaumgardner19]

@@shreksswamp1182 I’ll never not have hope as long as those 3 are on the team. Yes at some point the wheels will fall off, but the reason they missed the playoffs was not because of their big buys. The bottom six was a sieve and the power play was abysmal. As much as Guentzel is better than Bunting, Bunting is exactly what we need. A scratch and claw front of the net guy on the power play. Hornqvist 2.0. And frankly I see that trade as the equivalent of when the Penguins traded James Neal, the much better player, for Patric Hornqvist, a much more needed player. Bunting will help the power play, and the bottom six was improved this free agency period. And if the bottom six ends up sucking again, most of the players we signed this year were one year contracts. Those will all come off the books. Petry and Smith’s retentions will come off the books. They’re projected to $30 million in cap space next year to play around with

@@Oldpucker that may be true but I think Karlsson has been good for us. He was never going to replicate his 100 point season. I think people had way too much in terms of expectations for him. And if that cap space wasn’t used up by Karlsson it would have been used up by Jan Rutta, Jeff Petry, and Mikael Granlund. I think the only way to get out of those was to get Karlsson. You weren’t going to get a Marchessault or anyone else in a trade for those guys and you wouldn’t have been able to sign anyone this offseason because those would still be on the books.

I couldnt care less if we go on a 5-10 Year Rebuild and i dont care if that Rebuild starts in 5 Years. I want 87, 71 and 58 to be Lifelong Penguins. Even the thought of any of them playing in a different Uniform makes me sick. And i know that all of them want the same. They deserve their Farewell Years, they deserve their Money, they deserve a dignified farewell when the time comes. Dubas and FSG will make sure that that happens.

Cap cup record. Their are eras in hockey that really divide records imo Original 6 Expansion era (I’m young enough they feel like you could combine those) Post WHA Cap era What you could do in one likely didn’t translate to another. Winning 22 cups when only have to beat 6-12 teams is a lot different then winning with a cap vs 30+

I got really happy when I heard Billy Talent was playing then got really sad when I realized it was going to be in Calgary

Don't you guys wanna see Matthews win? Let him go to a contender team and cheer for him!

That’s what Leafs fans are doing.
