The Penguins are facing another playoff miss, putting pressure on 36-year-old Crosby to pursue a Stanley Cup elsewhere. Rumors swirl around potential moves to the Colorado Avalanche and Toronto Maple Leafs.
A compelling question from Hockey Patrol to their community: Marner for Crosby, one-for-one, would you make the swap?
Marner, who is a decade younger than Crosby, could play a pivotal role in the team's long-term strategy, while Crosby's impact would be limited to a few seasons. This decision would indeed be bold, but Treliving should carefully evaluate Marner's abilities against the potential acquisition of Crosby.
