Penguins Update: Sid and the Kids Part 2?
Hey all. My apologies for the blog being MIA the past few days. It seems another site that shares the same server was hacked, causing the domain host to shut the server down while performing a cleanup. All good now.
I wrote this article a couple days before Sidney Crosby pretty much announced his plans to stay put and sign a new contract, which is certainly wonderful news. Although the context has shifted, the thrust of my article pretty much remains the same. With that in mind, I decided to publish it as originally written.

I was minding my own business, kind of enjoying my new “semi-retired” status, when fellow PPer Caleb Di’Natale texted me bright ‘n’ early Saturday morning.
Seems someone had put forth the notion of dealing our UFA-to-be captain Sidney Crosby to Colorado at the 2025 trade deadline if the Pens are tanking…then re-signing him in the summer.
Naturally, the idea sparked some thoughts, which led to this article. (Hate when that happens…lol.)
I’ve gone on record as saying I’d love to see Sid consent to be traded to the Avalanche.
