3 NHL teams linked to Sidney Crosby for potential trade in 2025
According to Frank Seravalli on Bleacher Report, the Montreal Canadiens, Los Angeles Kings, and Colorado Avalanche have been discussed regarding a Crosby trade. All three NHL teams made the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs; however, none of them advanced past the first round.
Montreal was eliminated by the Washington Capitals, Los Angeles was conquered by the Edmonton Oilers, and Colorado was taken down by Mikko Rantanen and the Dallas Stars. The most notable team is the Avalanche, which employs Nathan MacKinnon, a close friend of Crosby.
Despite the trade rumors, Crosby hasn't shown any interest in moving from Pittsburgh yet, according to Seravalli. The 37-year-old center wants to compete but staying with the Penguins his entire career could become the priority. Crosby remains in Pittsburgh for now, but several teams will be waiting if he decides to pull the trigger on a trade request.Related Headlines

Emmanuel Clase news increases chance for Guardians to trade other star players
The Cleveland Guardians have been in a tough situation after recent news on the betting scandal that highlights star closer Emmanuel Clase's name. Clase joined teammate Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary leave after both players had been involved in gambling investigations; the earliest Clase and Ortiz can return to action will be Aug. 31. With this being said, the Guardians' biggest trade candidate lost his value for the season. This news has raised the odds for multiple other Cleveland stars to be traded before the MLB trade deadline on Thursday. According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, Emmanuel Clase's suspension "ended any chance of the Guardians becoming a buyer, and likely increased the possibility of the team trading right-hander Shane Bieber and perhaps left fielder Steven Kwan." "The Guardians intend to set a high bar for their desired return," Rosenthal mentioned in an article on Monday night. Shane Bieber, 30, is a former Cy Young Award winner and is coming off Tommy John surgery. He's currently playing on a contract that will have him earning $10 million this season and will have a $16 million player option for 2026. Steven Kwan, 27, is earning about $4.2 million this season and and the Guardians have arbitration control of him until after 2027. It's been reported that he's drawn interest from multiple teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Diego Padres. After Emmanuel Clase's suspension, it's looking like the Cleveland Guardians are going to have to change their intentions leading up to the MLB trade deadline. It looks like they will be changing from being a buyer to potentially selling players.

Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf returns to team after cancer surgery
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers hitting coach Al LeBoeuf has returned to the team after leaving earlier this month to have surgery for prostate cancer. LeBoeuf (leh-BUFF) is coaching in the majors for the first time this year. The Brewers named him lead hitting coach last October after he'd worked as a hitting coach in Triple-A the previous six seasons. 'We're happy he's back,' manager Pat Murphy said. 'Any time anybody goes through something like that, it's difficult. We kept in good contact and he was eager to be back and be part of it.' The Brewers have three hitting coaches on staff: LeBoeuf, Connor Dawson and Eric Theisen. LeBoeuf, 65, is in his 16th season in the Brewers' organization with many Milwaukee hitters having long ties with him that began as they worked their way through the minors, including leadoff hitter Sal Frelick. 'We love Buffy so much. I've been with him for the past four or five years now,' said Frelick, who was one of three Brewers players to hit home runs in an 8-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. 'It was really tough losing him for a little bit. Everyone said their prayers and luckily he was able to have a good procedure and he's healing up quick. So happy to have him back.' ___ AP MLB: Rich Rovito, The Associated Press
