The Pittsburgh Penguins have reportedly told teams that everyone but Sidney Crosby is available in trade discussions. It makes sense considering Crosby has talked about his love for the team and city and his desire to finish his career where it started.

In his latest "32 Thoughts" column, published on Wednesday, Friedman issued a bold statement on Crosby's future. The insider suggested the Penguins legend's dedication to Pittsburgh remains strong but added a caveat about what might make Crosby consider a change of scenery.

With Pittsburgh looking like one of the worst teams in the league, some understandably have wondered if Sidney Crosby and others are having second thoughts about retiring as one-club men.
