Pittsburgh’s Golden Age is over, and that spells trouble for Sidney Crosby and the NHL Globe_Sports
And so the decline of Crosby’s circumstances, if not yet his ability, should set the NHL to shuddering. It’s possible that what is happening to the first part of McDavid’s career in Edmonton will now commence to the last third of Crosby’s in Pittsburgh.
There’s nothing to be done about it from the Crosby end of things. He’s under contract until his late 30s. You just know in your bones the guy is never, ever demanding a trade. He’s just not cut that way. It isn’t ‘unselfish’. It is more ‘settled in his ways’.Crosby represents too much local goodwill and ancillary cash flow for the Penguins to consider him as what he is – a human commodity.
So the only way around this is for the Penguins to retrofit the hull while Crosby sits up on deck cooling his heels for a year or two. In a league that hates trades as a general proposition, and hates free agency even more, that’s a tough ask. That leaves us with a likelihood – that Sidney Crosby’s time in the sun is turning over to shadow. He may still be great, but will probably not get to show it when it matters. It was always bound to happen, but seeing the moment come around is still a surprise.conundrum. We all knew that, eventually, Crosby – a generational player, a top-five all-time talent, the league’s great 21st-century salesman – would probably get old.
