Host: “So (Leon) Draisaitl may end up being the highest paid player but the highest paid player in NHL history is Sidney Crosby.

Corrado: “Sidney Crosby's best legacy is to be a Penguin for life and follow in the footsteps of his mentor Mario Lemieux. Think about it, the Stanley Cups were under Mario Lemiuex's watch and at some point, the torch had to be passed. The torch was passed to Sidney Crosby.
Sidney Crosby has now won three Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh. Now that team is in a middle ground where they are not good enough to make the playoffs, but not bad enough to make the playoffs.
At some point, if Sidney Crosby's legacy goes from winning Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh to finally passing the torch to the next version of Mario and Sid, whoever it is, we don't know, that will be very important to Sidney Crosby's. it is rather than saying, 'Hey, I'm out of here. I get to go to Colorado or New York and I'm going to try to chase another Stanley Cup for me.
Sidney Crosby should be like Mario Lemieux. He should be like Nicholas Lidstrom and play his entire career with the team that drafted him. A team he has had great success with and passes the torch when the time comes.
