Do you know couples who don't want to leave each other, but are no longer compatible because of the way they see things in life? Sidney Crosby and the Penguins are obviously one of those couples right now. Crosby wants to get back to the playoffs, but he wants to do it in Pittsburgh. And with Kyle Dubas' Penguins, the goal right now is to manage a major rebuilding process, because yes, this reality is increasingly clear: Crosby wants to win and make the playoffs. Pat Brisson has made that abundantly clear in recent days, we agree, but Kyle Dubas has a plan for his organization.

Of necessity, that's a pretty clear message to Crosby, but it's also a clear message to Pat Brisson, Crosby's agent. Dubas says they talk on a daily basis and that he suspected there would be a clash of visions between the Crosby clan and his rebuilding mentality. content-ads]In light of everything that's coming out about Crosby, we understand that the situation is important. The player isn't keen on leaving (unless…) Pittsburgh, but he wants to win. The Penguins want a long rebuild, with no shortcuts. Opposing clubs are waiting to see what happens. And meanwhile, in Montreal… the Habs are getting ready. Yes, Kirby Dach is currently the club's second center. But everyone knows that can change quickly, and Habs executives are keeping an eye on the Pittsburgh situation.

If a center is needed, Crosby is definitely a possibility. We're going to be talking a lot about Sid the Kid…
