Who would have a shot at Sidney Crosby?

The Athletic: Staff noting how realistic a Sidney Crosby trade would be to each NHL team, if Crosby decided it was time to move on.

Anahiem Ducks – There’s no way
Boston Bruins – There’s no way
Buffalo Sabres – There’s no way
Calgary Flames – There’s a slight change – Have the cap space, assets but may not be enough of a contender.
Carolina Hurricanes – It’s a maybe – Hurricanes and Avs may be the best fits if Crosby wants to go to a contender.
Chicago Blackhawks – There’s no way
Colorado Avalanche – It’s a maybe – Could use a center and have a group of players he’d love to play with.
Columbus Blue Jackets – There’s a slight chance – Have the pieces to give up, but hard to see Crosby wanting to play there.
Dallas Stars – There’s a slight chance – Would be a good chance to win, but a highly unlikely landing spot.
Detroit Red Wings – There’s a slight chance – Further along than the Penguins, but still haven’t broken through.
Edmonton Oilers – There’s a slight chance – The Oilers are at the cap, and lack high-end future assets.
Florida Panthers – It’s a strong possibility – They’re looking for three in a row.
Los Angeles Kings – There’s no way
Minnesota Wild – There’s a slight chance
Montreal Canadiens – It’s a strong possibility – Have the assets and are on the up.
Nashville Predators – There’s a slight chance – Very close to “no way.”
New Jersey Devils – Would have to be interested if Crosby was available.
New York Islanders – There’s no way

NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, and the New York Rangers

New York Rangers – There’s a slight chance – Are they a true contender? Crosby is comfortable with their new head coach.
Ottawa Senators – There’s no way
Philadelphia Flyers – There’s no way
Pittsburgh Penguins – There’s a slight chance – It’s still possible that Crosby will finish his career Pittsburgh.
San Jose Sharks – There’s no way
Seattle Kraken – There’s no way
St. Louis Blues – There’s no way
Tampa Bay Lightning – There’s a slight chance – Don’t really have the cap space and assets.
Toronto Maple Leafs – There’s a slight chance – Closer to ‘no way’ but he’d fit a need. Lack the assets to acquire.
Utah Mammoth – There’s no way
Vancouver Canucks – It’s a maybe – Doesn’t really make sense to give up the assets.
Vegas Golden Knights – There’s a slight chance – Don’t really have a need for a center, but you can never count them out.
Washington Capitals – There’s no way
Winnipeg Jets – There’s a slight chance – Winnipeg is not usually a players first choice.
