A viral video showing Pittsburgh Penguins legend Sidney Crosby in a Los Angeles Kings jersey has sent Colorado Avalanche fans into an absolute frenzy as trade rumours continue to swirl throughout the offseason.
Crosby has been linked to the Avalanche in a potential blockbuster trade to reunite him with his hometown friend Nathan MacKinnon.
Sidney Crosby trade rumours heating up after latest viral video.
Gabriel Sami from All Habs writes that Crosby’s name is making waves across the NHL, with fans now questioning whether the longtime Pittsburgh Penguins captain could actually be traded before his storied career comes to an end.
ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski today on The Sheet with Jeff Marek:
“I’ve long believed that Sidney Crosby will end his career in Montreal.”

From a young age, Crosby was recognized as a hockey player prodigy, with the spotlight following him closely. Long before he suited up for the Rimouski Océanic in the QMJHL, the future No. 87 was already the unanimous favourite to go first overall in the 2005 NHL Draft.
At just 16 years old, Crosby was invited to attend to Los Angeles Kings’ development camp, a rare opportunity for someone his age, and a video from that moment has recently resurfaced on social media, reigniting fan buzz.
“Of course, it’s quite odd to see him wearing a Kings jersey, but it’s especially one specific detail that’s capturing people’s attention: the teenager completely dominates the older players, and his power on skates is simply phenomenal!” -Sami
The footage showcases Crosby’s remarkable puck control, blending speed and power in a way that makes him nearly unstoppable, none of the others players could contain him. One viewer even remarked that, in their opinion, 16-year-old Crosby looked more impressive than 20-year-old Connor Bedard does today.
