00:00So I, you know, this guy Dubas with my team, the Penguins,

00:05a lot of people were surprised that with that first pick that they had at 11,

00:12they had 11 and 12 that they took the kid, Benjamin Kindle,

00:16the center from Calgary in the W and he had 99 points,

00:22but after it was said and done, everybody said it was a bad pick.

00:25Well, they might need a center, Scotty, because he might trade your number one center.

00:31He might tap out. So that's the issue.

00:34So you're still telling me that Crosby's leaving the Penguins?

00:38Scotty, I'll say that. No, I'm not telling you that.

00:40I'm telling you he's not happy in the direction of the franchise, right?

00:44Because it's the only team that's sent a clear message.

00:47They're rebuilding because they are. They're rebuilding. It's okay. It's fine.

00:52How much of the taste of losing is he going to tolerate?

00:57Because it's been a couple of years, Scotty, and it's going to be a couple more years.

01:00He wants to win, right? Look, and I know over the weekend,

01:04George LaRock put out the stuff about every, look, here's the, the boys were in Vegas.

01:08They were at UFC. So him, Nate McKinnon, some other cats were at it.

01:14They were in a cabang and hanging out. Oh, Sid and Nate McKinnon are together.

01:18Oh, they're trading him to Colorado this weekend. No, I know, I know Sid's agent.

01:23Yeah. I know Sid's agent. Pepper's on. He's like, Dan, there's nothing going on.

01:27Could that change? It could change because the one concern, and you're right, Scotty,

01:31get used to a long, a lot of losing as a Penns fan. Like it's going to be a rebuild.

01:35It's, it might be three to five years and we'll still be around for that. I doubt it.

01:39So that's why you hear the chatter about Sid not being happy or possibly being traded.

01:43Yeah. I I've heard all that. So, and it's just been going on.

01:49It really has been going on for a year. Now we've been hearing about that,

01:53that they're going to trade him and they don't, they don't want to, you know,

01:57the problem I have with them is not keeping him because I think they will.

02:01The problem is that they're stuck with Malkin and Letang who both look shot.

02:05Yep.

02:06Yep.
