That said, Crosby trade rumors are ramping up, and on OverDrive 1050, McLennan theorized what a Crosby trade to the Maple Leafs would look like.
Sidney Crosby to the Toronto Maple Leafs
McLennan believes it would take
Joseph Woll and a prospect like
Easton Cowan, as well as a couple of high draft picks.
"Because we're being hypothetical... I'll trade Sidney Crosby and
Tristan Jarry for Joseph Woll and Easton Cowan and a first and a second first because of the term on Crosby's contract. It's a package that Tre might hang up the phone and go 'I can't make that happen'."
However, fans can immediately forget about this ever actually happening.
These are the kinds of fantasy trades you attempt in NHL 25 and then promptly get shut down.
Having said that, Crosby has a decent likelihood of demanding a trade if things do not get any better.
At this point, the Colorado Avalanche seems like the most likely option.
The Maple Leafs already have a ton of superstars and they probably can't swing another.
