Sidney Crosby's Former Teammate Shares a Fascinating Scenario Linking Him to Montreal
Kirby Dach was supposed to become the future second-line center of the Montreal Canadiens, but his performances this season have cast doubt.
With this uncertainty, general manager Kent Hughes will need to consider creative solutions to fill this gap, at least until Michael Hage is ready to take on the challenge.
The question was raised on BPM Sports, where Georges Laraque and Stéphane Gonzalez explored the bold idea of acquiring Sidney Crosby.
Although it seems unlikely, Georges Laraque believes it is not impossible.
The Acquisition of Sidney Crosby by the Montreal Canadiens: Not So Impossible?
See what Laraque, a former teammate of #87, had to say.
I understand it would be surprising to see Sid with the Canadiens, and I agree with you, but there's one thing, for example-when they're on track to miss the playoffs this year, they'll start cashing in on the players they have to begin preparing for the rebuild.
The Canadiens have enormous potential, and it would be a great challenge for Sid the Kid.
Crosby, it's already been said in the past-I played with him-he loves hockey markets, and Montreal would be perfect for him.
It's not as impossible as it seems.»
- Georges Laraque
At 37, Crosby still has a lot to offer, but he would likely want to join a team capable of winning the Stanley Cup quickly, which is not the case for the Canadiens in the short term.
This idea remains fascinating.
Crosby would bring invaluable experience and an immediate impact on the ice and in the locker room.
However, for such a transaction to take place, several conditions would need to be met: Crosby would need to want to leave Pittsburgh, the Penguins would have to be willing to trade him, and the Canadiens would need to present a competitive offer while staying true to their rebuilding plan.
For now, this scenario remains in the realm of speculation, but it highlights the challenges the Canadiens will face in building a team capable of competing with the league's best.
Personally, I don't believe it, but at the same time, Laraque knows a lot more than you or I, given that he was indeed a former teammate of Crosby.
