Four Teams Identified by Oddsmakers as Potential Destinations for Sidney Crosby: Official List Just Publicly Revealed

Here’s the answer you’ve been waiting for.

To the question: “Which team will Sidney Crosby be playing for in his next NHL regular season game?”.. here are the odds:

1 – Pittsburgh Penguins (95.2% chance it happens)

2 – Montreal Canadiens (4.5% chance it happens)

3 – Toronto Maple Leafs (2.9% chance it happens)

4 – Colorado Avalanche (2.9% chance it happens)

5 – Vegas Golden Knights (2.2% chance it happens)

Fascinating stuff!

And yes, I’m fully aware that the total adds up to more than 100%, but when you convert the odds into implied probabilities, that’s exactly what you get.

So, it’s clear the chances of him staying in Pittsburgh are very high, but it’s interesting to see that if Crosby were to leave Pennsylvania, the top contender to land him would be none other than the Montreal Canadiens.
