Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, in his latest "32 Thoughts" column, made a bold statement regarding Sidney Crosby's future amidst growing speculation about a potential rebuild for the franchise.
After a humiliating 7-1 defeat to the Dallas Stars on Monday, the Penguins have taken steps toward a rebuild by trading veteran forward Lars Eller back to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a fifth-rounder in the 2025 NHL draft.
This trade marks a notable shift in strategy under GM Kyle Dubas, indicating a move away from immediate competition and toward a more comprehensive rebuilding process for the Penguins.
