The Pittsburgh Penguins have endured a nightmare start to the 2024-25 season. With a 7-12-4 record and 18 points in the Metropolitan division, they are far from looking like a playoff-caliber team. This has prompted insiders to question Sidney Crosby's future at the club.
On Monday's episode of TSN Overdrive, analyst Bryan Hayes floated the idea that the Toronto Maple Leafs could potentially target Crosby in a hypothetical trade, given their struggles in the "middle of the ice." Hayes suggested that the Leafs' need for a top-tier center might align with the Penguins' desire to look for new prospects in order to rebuild.
However, on Tuesday's episode, Pierre LeBrun, a guest on the show, blasted Hayes for even coming up with the idea of such a trade. LeBrun jokingly suggested that Hayes' probable trade came from a place of him being intoxicated on cocaine.
