Pens fan here. I love Crosby, and I don't think our teams gonna have much sudden success. He can absolutely go somewhere else and no one here would burn a jersey or anything. He is a champion of this city and can do no wrong.

I always thought Quick would be a King for life, but then he was traded. Same with Stamkos and the Lightning. So, I can't honestly say any particular player will stay with their team for their entire careers anymore.

Penguins fan here: Would it surprise us if Crosby goes elsewhere at the end? No.

I’m a long long time penguin fan since about 1970. Been very fortunate to see five Stanley Cups in my lifetime. The current rendition of the Penguins with or without Crosby isn’t very good. While I would love to see him stay here his entire career I think that it would be best for the team and for Sid to move on.

Crosby is a Canadian from Nova Scotia - he was born never to complain.

He's got a choice - he can finish his career there and help out some of the kids, or he can go for another Stanley Cup. In my view, if he really wants to help the Penguins organization, he'd ask for a trade to a contender so that he can get a shot at a final Cup AND Pittsburgh can get some assets for him to help with the rebuild. Sure, it's cute when a player wants to play their entire career in one place, but when they'd be really helping their franchise (and I'm not a penguins fan) if they let themselves be traded to another team, obviously to a team that has a chance to win. That way everyone's happy. Martin St. Louis was trade to the Rangers, but while he never won a Cup there, the Bolts got a 1st, a 2nd and their future captain Ryan Callahan. As a fan of the Canucks, I would have liked to have seen the Sedins move on to a contender and won a Cup elsewhere while we got a few draft picks in return. The Sedins deserved a Cup ring, and it would have been nice to get more assets. I still hope for the best for Bo Horvat. At this point, everyone is leaving the team that drafted them for more money, so I don't hold grudges anymore. If I did that, I'd have to stop watching hockey altogether.

I never thought Patrick Kane would play anywhere but Chicago and now he's with Detroit and as a Wings fan I'm happy as hell he's on the team but it still feels weird seeing him in the Winged Wheel instead of in Hawks gear.

I love Toronto logic. In spite of acknowledging that the Pens have a large fanbase and a five championships in the last 30 years, players should not want to play there. Yet Toronto fans will also tell you that players should naturally want to come to the Leafs, in spite of it being a notorious pressure cooker and no championships in the last 50 years.

"Kyle doesnt do anything bold"... Erik Karlsson. Just one of many things wrong with this clip.

[@LedriTheThane]

I think him staying with the Penguins is what matters the most to him, if I had to guess.

Ovechkin and his 13 year, $124 million deal

Payton manning walked away from the field with a trophy in hand, and there's a non-zero chance landeskog is about to do the same

[@BFMVrocks34]

I love people keep thinking they're done. There's absolutely still a chance for this group. Sid's staying and he still has a chance at 4.

[@NifeOO4niff]

Crosby isn't a veteran looking for his first championship. He's literally done it all when it comes to hockey. He's got a house in Pittsburgh, friends, family. He's built a life in Pitt and I think it just comes down to him wanting to stay there.

[@jacobeberhardt1649]

As a Washington Capitals fan, he had better finish it in Pitt. We need to see this story arc through. If he ever gets traded or signed by someone else, I will personally see to it that that organization burns.

As a Penguins fan going to games starting in 1967 I hope Sid retires a Penguin. If Canada can get a goalie, he is sure to win two more World championships regardless of his NHL team.

Yinz fundamentally misunderstand Pittsburghers if you think we don’t value
