It is no longer a secret for anyone for a long time, the Montreal Canadiens will actively be looking for a center player this summer capable of evolving on a regular basis in the top-6 of the team for next season.
Experiences with Kirby Roof et Alex Newhook Having not borne fruit internally, it is by a signature of a free agent with or without restriction or by a transaction that the DG Kent Hughes will have to carry out to bring the player to Montreal capable of fulfilling this important need within the organization.
Of all potentially available center players, the name of Sidney Crosby Pittsburgh penguins obviously returns to the top of the list. Great fan of the Canadian in his youth because of his father who had been drafted by the team, the links are easy to make.
The analyst François Gagnon of RDS For his part is convinced that he is the perfect solution for CH.
There are several solutions available to the Canadian. But the perfect solution has a name and only one: that of Sidney Crosby.
Despite the fact that Crosby will be 38 years old early next season, he is still very young, all fire, all flame. He proved it by giving himself a body and soul to defend the colors of Canada to the confrontation of the 4 nations. He proves it once again by giving himself the mandate to help his country win the world championship. He will still prove this by assuming the role of captain next winter, in Italy, during the next Olympic Games.
Oh yes! He also proved it by knowing a 91 -point season. About twentieth consecutive season with an average of more than one point collected per game played.

According to him, the DG Kent Hughes should be aggressive in this case and do everything in his power to convince the Penguins of Pittsburgh, and Crosby too, to accept a transaction in Montreal.
To get there, it will cost very expensive but he would not hesitate for a second to pay the price. Without appointing specific names, he claims that it would be perfectly agree to pay the big price to acquire it.
Penguins could receive a young star established in the NHL, leading hopes, heaps of first round choice. They could receive assets necessary to help Kyle Dubas initiate its reconstruction in the right way.
Assets that the Canadian can offer and that he should not hesitate for a second to offer if Crosby was ready to consider leaving his penguins. This may be the biggest challenge in this equation.
Do you give Caufield, Slafkovsky or Hutson? I don’t believe. But you can still give interesting players in addition to several first round choices in the future.
