Bold Opinion on Possible Sidney Crosby Trade Sparks Major Reactions

The excitement carries into the second round.

For Pittsburgh Penguins fans, it's been a different story as their team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the 2005-2006 season. Despite earning 91 points during the regular season, Sidney Crosby's team missed the playoffs by just one ranking point, prompting fans to ask important questions within the organization.

In a report by Philippe Chênevert from Habsolumentfan.com, a prominent journalist offered a controversial suggestion that has divided hockey fans. Mathias Brunet, during a recent appearance on BPM Sports, questioned the Penguins' decision to maintain a core of players aged 35 and older, including Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kristopher Letang, who will be 37 and 36 years old, respectively, at the start of the next season.

Taking it a step further, Brunet proposed that the Penguins should trade Crosby while he still holds significant value, surprisingly stating that he would trade Sidney Crosby.

The idea of trading Crosby is a bold statement from the veteran journalist, who also drew a comparison between the Penguins and the Washington Capitals concerning Alexander Ovechkin. Although both players are nearing the end of their careers, it would be quite surprising if either changed teams at this stage in their journeys.
