In the near future [which could be long], who is likely to leave their team first...Crosby or Ovechkin?

Question

and where do you see them going next?

Answer 1

I'd bet on Ovechkin leaving. First Washington will never win it all, they just don't seem to care about it. Next Russians seem to have less of a sense of loyalty to a team and are more apt to jump ship for the big money. I'd bet on Philly or the Rangers as possible destinations.

Answer 2

First of all i like what the first person said (Scotty F) i totally agree with him and i would have said the same thing so i am using what he said and i put it in quotes
"Mario just saved the franchise in Pittsburgh and has not been shy about saying that he is building the team around Crosby." (Scotty F)
for this reason i do believe Alex will leave Washington first also because Sidney led their team to the playoffs this year it may not have been far but i think thatits because they havetoo many young players but i think in about 3 or 4 years Pittsburgh may have the Stanley Cup it could even be soon Were i hink Alex is going to go is probably depending on who needs a plyer like him and it may be a team out west (hopefully so i dont have to hearso much about him)
As for Sidney I cant tell you were he will go after Pittsburgh but it will be a team that could also use him when it comes time for hime to be traded if he does get traded at the trade deadline it will most likely be a team that will not be in the playoffs
Kindof how Buffalo traded Marty Biron to Philly because we knew that we wernt going to see him in the playoffs this year teams usually dont trade great players to a team that is doing well and may have a chance to beat us in the playoffs

Sorry about the babbling i tend to do that alot

Answer 3

Where they are going next is anyones' guess, but I'd see Ovechkin leaving first. Unless Crosby is traded away ala Oiler Gretzky to save the team serious monies, Crosby would be villianized all his days for leaving Pittsburgh.

Answer 4

Alex.

Mario just saved the franchise in Pittsburgh and has not been shy about saying that he is building the team around Crosby. Washington is a mess. He will be up for a big contract and they won't realize what he is actually worth. With the cap, I couldn't speculate as to where he would move. Different teams are buyers and sellers every year. If it were 5 years ago, I would say Detroit, NYR, NYI or TML. Follow the money.

Answer 5

Likely it will be Ovechkin. He is older, and therefore will hit the free agency age sooner. That said, Crosby is starting so young that he will be with the team long enough to file for free agency early. So you never know. But where they go next? That is impossible to predict. In any case, it might not be as long as you think. One of the concessions the league made was earlier free agency. It is going to be virtually impossible for most teams to keep superstar players for any serious length of time.

Answer 6

Alex is gone. He isn't a franchise player in my opinion, he is a goal scorer but that doesn't make him a Franchise player. Washington is such a mess and his hype will likely buy him a big contract. Washington is likely to pass on him and get someone who is more of a Franchise player.
Consider that Crosby lives with Mario. Yeah Mario was the Franchise player(as well as owner) when Crosby was brought in and moved in. It was pretty much indicated from the start that he was the direction they were going with the Franchise.

Answer 7

I would like to say Ovechkin to the Bruins , but , i think that Crosby will go first , either to the Rangers or the Habs .

Answer 8

both will probably leave there teams at one point or another.
ovechkin 1st to either ottawa, anaheim, san jose, phoenix or montreal
then crosby would go to either LA, the islanders, toronto, vancouver or montreal
or pretty much any where but chicago and boston. both teams owned by 2 of the cheapest men in professional sports bill wurtz and jeremy jacobs.

Answer 9

Ovechkin because Washigton doesn't know how to build a team if backstrom truns out to be a bust then they really don't know how to build a team so Ovechkin will go to which ever team will win and give him the most money.

Answer 10

Wade is staying. Im very specific he's by using the fact the warmth are loaded and that they have got sufficient cap area for Wade, Lebron, And Bosh/Stoudamaire. think of that, Wade on the factor, Lebron SF and Bosh/Stoudamaire at midsection. purely concern is how they'll all flow jointly interior the offense. yet i recognize Wade and Lebron can play super jointly. interior the All-famous man or woman game, Wade replaced into the factor and Lebron at SF, and Wade had eleven assists, lots of them to Lebron, probably like 4. Lebron and Wade the two scored a lot for his or her team and that they are in a position to do an identical on the warmth. yet while Wade did take place to pass, he could pass in Chicago. If Lebron went, i quite desire he could pass to the warmth, yet there's a physically powerful probability he is going to chicago which I dont think of is clever to compliment over going to the warmth. the reason being by using the fact the warmth could pass Wade to PG, and he could nonetheless be greater useful than Rose the two way. additionally, the Bulls don't have a super massive guy, however the warmth can get bosh/stoudamaire. the two way Lebron could play SF, different than he could have a greater useful PG (D. Wade) and a notably accessible probability of a super massive guy, (Bosh/Stoudamaire). Im specific the warmth could additionally get a greater useful bench additionally to characteristic greater intensity. and persons are asserting "those superstars can't play jointly on an identical team!!" properly they are in a position to because of the fact they dont all could desire to be interior the courtroom on an identical time. One time Wade and Bosh could desire to be in, and in yet all over again Bosh and Lebron could properly be in.
