    Backstrom (WSH) for Crosby

    Any harm in offering this up to see if the guy bites before Sid returns?

    I assume he won't since he appears to be close...but ya

    Was debating on making it a 4-player deal....Backstrom + Brian Campbell for Sid + Kronwall (DET)

    Its tough to comment since it all comes down to the uncertainty of Sids future health

    I am of the view that a healthy Crosby is the best player in the game-- If he's healthy -- I think this is amazing to acquire him--- I personally would risk it to get him .

    But don't be surprised if you get turned down

    Yeah

    thanks a lot for the input...it's good to know someone is thinking along my line of thought in all of this as well, flubber

    I basically think no one touches the guy when he's healthy...I think it's also promising how delicately PIT has handled him the last 10 months...the guy who has him doesn't have any solid stud at the C position so I think he's going to be tempted to pick up a sure-thing like Backstrom...we'll see!

    I would take the risk to acquire Sid but I would keep it as a straight trade so he doesn't think you're fleecing him asking for more
