Per a new report from ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, Pittsburgh Penguins captain and future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby could remain in the Eastern Conference in a trade.
The Chicago Blackhawks rarely have to face Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins, as they are in opposite conferences.
Crosby and the Penguins come to town at United Center only once per year, giving Chicago fans only a single opportunity to watch the future Hall of Famer in action and continuing to play at a high level despite being on the wrong side of 35.
Is Crosby about to be on the move from Pittsburgh, where he has spent his entire NHL career so far?
Per a new report from ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, it wouldn't be surprising to see Crosby traded to a new team in the Eastern Conference, and one that happened to be his favorite as a boy growing up - the Montreal Canadiens.
If ever Sidney Crosby decides he's ready to leave Pittsburgh and Montreal is one of the destinations on his list, I know that Kent Hughes would be ready to make an offer.
I believe Canadiens management has already thought this through and knows what they would be willing to offer.

The Penguins have missed the postseason in each of the last 3 years, which is now the longest drought of Crosby's NHL career.
If he were to be traded to the Canadiens, it would also mean Chicago would have to face him only twice a year, and once at United Center.
