Former Penguin Wishes Sidney Crosby Left Pittsburgh

If we're honest what each other, Sidney Crosby leaving the Pittsburgh Penguins isn't realistic. Yet that doesn't stop fans of other teams from dreaming up scenarios and wishing for a change of scenery for the Penguins' captain.

Paul Bissonnette's Wish

After Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, Paul Bissonnette, who used to play with Crosby back in the day and now shares his thoughts as an analyst on TNT, took to Twitter to share his two cents. He mentioned how he'd love to see Crosby tearing it up with a team like the Colorado Avalanche.


Now, it's no secret that the Colorado Avalanche have been a rumored landing spot for Crosby, especially with his Nova Scotia native Nathan MacKinnon tearing it up there.


Bissonnette may have only suited up for 15 games with the Penguins before hanging up his skates, but he's always been a supporter of the franchise. Seeing the Pens struggle, especially after such a stellar season from Crosby, hits him hard.


If the Penguins had clinched a playoff spot, there'd be Hart Trophy talk swirling around Crosby. He's been a force all season, with 32 goals and 63 points in 59 games. Yet it's been overshadowed by the team's struggles. Sid the kid deserves better.
