Pat Brisson, the longtime agent of the Pittsburgh Penguins stalwart, recently acknowledged that a trade could be on the table. Ironically, his client subsequently affirmed a desire to remain with the organization and voiced frustration over the persistent trade speculation—speculation that had, in large part, been stoked by Brisson himself.
Crosby has been a fixture in trade speculation since last year. Ultimately, the three-time Stanley Cup champion and Penguins captain remained with Pittsburgh through the trade deadline. Yet, during the offseason, his name resurfaced amid rumours of a potential move after a reporter erroneously suggested that Crosby was pursuing a trade to the Colorado Avalanche.
