Host: “So (Leon) Draisaitl may find yourself as the best paid however the player with the best profession earnings in NHL history after all is Sidney Crosby. Now Frankie, I do know you’ll be able to’t picture Sid in one other jersey, you’ve made that very clear.

Corrado: “The higher legacy move for Sidney Crosby is to be a Penguin for all times and follow within the footsteps of his mentor Mario Lemieux. Take into consideration this, Stanley Cups were one under Mario Lemiuex’s watch and sooner or later, the torch needed to get passed on. The torch got passed to Sidney Crosby.

Now Sidney Crosby has won three Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh. Now that team is in a bit of little bit of a middle spot where they’re not quite adequate to compete for a championship, but they’re not quite bad enough to essentially bottom out.

Sooner or later, if Sidney Crosby’s legacy goes from winning Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh to eventually perhaps passing the torch to the following version of Mario and Sid, whoever that could be, we don’t know, that will likely be far more substantial for Sidney Crosby’s legacy than saying, ‘Hey, I’m outta here. I get to go to Colorado or Recent York and I’m gonna go try to chase yet one more Stanley Cup for my very own sake.

Sidney Crosby needs to be like Mario Lemieux. Must be like Nicholas Lidstrom and play his whole profession with the team that drafted him. The team he had loads of success with and pass the torch when the time comes.
