Well, maybe it’s more of a wish or a joke than inside information he got, but it’s good to know that even Toronto informants, working in a market outside Montreal link Sid to the Habs. By many accounts, Montreal is the most likely club to acquire him. The Olympics in Italy will take place in February 2026 (6 to 22), just a few days before the trade deadline. It would therefore be logical/probable, especially considering that the Penguins are likely to be at the bottom of the overall standings and, consequently, will be sellers, to see Crosby traded. However, such trades, especially for a legend, are rarely made in the middle of the season. But who knows? Maybe, after a great Olympic tournament for Captain Canada and a gold medal, Hughes will finally decide to pull the trigger. Imagine this forward line-up in the second half of the 2025-2026 season: Slafkovsky-Suzuki-Caufield Demidov-Crosby-Dach Bolduc-Newhook-Laine Gallagher-Evans-Anderson Easily a forward on a championship team.
