Sidney Crosby: David Reinbacher’s name thrown into the discussion

The Canadiens got off to a good start. Tonight they have an opportunity to get their fourth win in five games, and that could really happen considering the Preds will be in town.After all, we're not talking about a Nashville powerhouse.But even if things are going well for the Montreal club, one “problem” remains: the Habs don’t have a deep line of centers. And for that matter, we all know that Sidney Crosby's name has been linked to the Habs' name – especially given the Penguins' situation in Pittsburgh. Everyone also knows that Crosby will make the decision. If he wants to stay, he will stay. But if he wants to give himself a chance to win another Stanley Cup, he'll have to go, and if that happens, the Habs will be among the teams interested in him. One club is already looking at number 87 to see what might happen, as Renaud Lavoie said.(Real Kuyper and Bourne) discussed. Interestingly, the journalist also commented on how much it would cost to get the Kid out of Pittsburgh. And that's when he mentioned draft picks and David Reinbacher as pieces the Penguins might be interested in. The Habs organization loves David Reinbacher. But to get Crosby to Pittsburgh… I get the impression that Kent Hughes would be willing to let his quarterback go.

If Crosby chooses the Canadiens, Kent Hughes will have a big advantage in negotiations with Kyle Dubas. And that's what prompts Renaud Lavoie to say the Habs will be in a position where they won't have to gut the franchise as much to acquire Sidney Crosby.This is also interesting. Then again, we shouldn't think that Kent Hughes will be the only general manager in the National League to delve into this issue. But really, I have the impression that Crosby will be the one to choose the destination… because he is in a position to do so, given his age and status. And that's why Hughes prepared by selling Carey Price's contract in early September. This gives the Canadiens general manager more flexibility, allowing him to be more creative with his salary deal.spacer title=”Overtime”]–

David Pagnotta: I'd imagine Philly at least listens to Owen Tippett, nothing in sight right now, but it wouldn't surprise me depending on how the dominoes fall… if teams actually start poking a little harder at a guy like that – DFO Rundown (10/15)
