Sidney Crosby to Join Childhood Favorite Team? It Seems to Be in the Cards

Superstar and Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby has been linked to the Montreal Canadiens in multiple reports, where the forward would like to finish his career with a contender or at home with his favorite team.

From the reports, Canadiens fans are excited to hear about the news, but some say it is far-fetched news coming out on-air. This would be incredible for a superstar such as Sidney Crosby to go to the Montreal Canadiens team as it has many implications, however, there is no authenticity to the story.

If the reports were true then it would certainly be a mainstream effect of a major trade brewing.
