The Expected Cost to Acquire Sidney Crosby Revealed by Analyst
If the Montreal Canadiens want to acquire Sidney Crosby, the reported cost has been revealed by Canadiens analyst Marco Normandin of Habsolumentfan.com.
If the Pittsburgh Penguins decide to do what was previously unthinkable as recently as a year ago and trade Sidney Crosby, a team that seems to be gaining steam as a likely destination is the Montreal Canadiens.
The Canadiens are the team that Crosby grew up rooting for as a child, and even has been linked to the club by multiple notable analysts.
Per analyst Marco Normandin of Habsolumentfan.com, the cost of acquiring Crosby by the Canadiens will involve at least a pair of 1st round picks and a prospect.
"For Sidney Crosby, it's going to cost two first-round picks and a prospect who isn't named Demidov or Reinbacher."
"When asked if Michael Hage could potentially be sacrificed in such a trade, he replied that it would indeed be a possibility that should possibly be considered."

The fate of Crosby with the Penguins is going to be a major storyline in the upcoming months.
Sidney Crosby reaffirmed his commitment to the Penguins
Crosby knows that his name is being involved in trade rumours, but he recently reaffirmed his commitment to remaining with the Penguins.
This is where I want to be. I love it here I talk about the first day, and you think about first impressions. I didn't know a lot about Pittsburgh prior to being drafted, and I showed up at the airport and could barely move. The support that I felt from day one, the relationships that I formed here, the memories, the teammates, the fans. I mean, you go down the list.
Crosby is signed for another 2 years with his traditional AAV (average annual value) of $8.7 million.
