TSN analyst links Sidney Crosby to the Canadiens as a potential target for Kent Hughes
TSN analyst Travis Yost has just made a statement that is sure to spark conversation in Montreal, and it involves Sidney Crosby and Kent Hughes.
First, let's recall that Sidney Crosby is about to enter the final year of his contract, earning $8.7 million per year, after which he could become a free agent.
The Pittsburgh Penguins could potentially lose him "for nothing" as early as next summer if he signs elsewhere.
We're still talking about an elite player here, and a forward who just racked up 94 points, including 42 goals, in the 2024-2025 season.
Could Sidney Crosby leave Pittsburgh? A TSN analyst suggests him as a possible acquisition for Kent Hughes
This question is beginning to be raised by journalists covering the Penguins, and many are currently wondering if Crosby could leave Pittsburgh to join a team on the rise.

He believes that the Montreal Canadiens would be the team that benefits the most, across the entire NHL, from adding a player like Sidney Crosby.
Personally, I find it hard to believe, but it still comes from a TSN analyst.
Travis Yost even went further.
He calculated that adding Sidney Crosby could allow Martin St-Louis's squad to gain 5 additional wins in the NHL standings, as well as provide the best role model in the world to guide the Canadiens' young players.
According to his analysis, this could clearly help Montreal reach the playoffs and possibly pull off a surprise.
That said, while the analysis is interesting, I truly believe that Sidney Crosby will finish his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
