While Kyle Dubas of the Pittsburgh Penguins pushes the rebuild forward, Sidney Crosby may have to consider a different path in his career, and could the Detroit Red Wings be his next step in the NHL?
Sidney Crosby has just sent an intriguing message to the Detroit Red Wings as the Original Six team is on the hunt for top-six talent.
Could Sid be the next big trade that Steve Yzerman makes?
Generational talents like Sidney Crosby aren't often on the open market, and when his contract expires at the end of the season, if he isn't given an extension, he could hunt for a new home in the NHL.
What better place to stop than Detroit?
An Original Six team, drenched in lore of yesteryear, and legends adorning its star-studded halls.
Crosby would be a fit!
While many pundits and talking heads believe that the Montreal Canadiens would be the next team Sidney Crosby suits up for, there are other teams who could be in the mix.
Sidney Crosby's Future With the Detroit Red Wings In His Own Words
Sidney Crosby could be signed if he were to test free agency, as the Red Wings have plenty of cap space available.
But for Crosby, he remains a faithful Penguin until the end, sending a clear message to Detroit and other teams who've been rumored to be interested, that he simply isn't leaving:
"This is where I want to be. I love it here I talk about the first day, and you think about first impressions. I didn't know a lot about Pittsburgh prior to being drafted, and I showed up at the airport and could barely move.
The support that I felt from day one, the relationships that I formed here, the memories, the teammates, the fans. I mean, you go down the list.
I'm so grateful and thankful that I've had the opportunity to play here as long as I have. And I think anyone who knows me knows what the city means to me and how special it is."
"If people want to write about that or say that, that's fine, but I can't really control that. Obviously, when you lose and when there's certain things that happen, it's normal for that stuff to come up. But that's how I feel."

The message is clear to the Red Wings and other NHL teams who had their heart set on acquiring Sidney Crosby.
He wants to remain a Penguin until he retires, shooting down our hopes and dreams of improving the lineup significantly in Detroit.
