After several injuries the Vancouver Canucks have the worst center lineup in the NHL, there have been many rumours floating around stemming from last season that Sidney Crosby was looking for a trade, however it definitely won't be to the Canucks.
Frustration was growing for Crosby in Pittsburgh last season, where the team failed to make the playoffs, and Crosby is running out of years at 38 years old.
"Early on Sunday, a lot of these rumours came to the forefront when the Vancouver Canucks were named as a possible trade destination for Sidney Crosby, considering his successful connection to Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford."-Mitchel
Sidney Crosby will not be coming to save the Vancouver Canucks.
Ben Kuzma of The Province wrote about the Sidney Crosby trade rumours, and how the Canucks are definitely not a target destination for him. The Canucks need all the help they can get after Filip Chytil went down earlier this week.
"Chytil, 26, was having a dominant puck-possession outing Sunday in Washington, D.C. He was dropped by a heavy, blindside hit from big winger Tom Wilson after passing the puck on a neutral-zone rush. Chytil, who has a history of concussions, fell to the ice, slowly got up and had to be helped to the locker room for further evaluation."-Kuzma
The Canucks have pretty much run out of options at the center position, last night in Pittsburgh the Canucks dressed a center rotation that can barely be considered an NHL lineup comprising of Elias Pettersson, Max Sasson, Aatu Raty and the recalled Nils Aman.
The Canucks got blown out 5-1 including a goal from Crosby, who at 38 years old has 8 points in 7 games.
"Teams know the Canucks are desperate and nobody is doing any roster favours to help an opponent. Crosby's cap friendly US$8.7 million in annual salary that expires after next season is enticing to help put a team over the top."-Kuzma
The Canucks need to do something and fast or these blowouts are going to keep happening. And it will not be Crosby coming to help them.
