Montreal is the best option from that list. I do think Crosby would fit with Colorado also.

Rangers & Leafs – just don’t see it happening, as I don’t think Crosby really would care to take himself into the mega markets to try to fix teams with issues.

Edmonton – I don’t think Crosby would be inclined to take a trade to Edmonton to help McDavid win a cup. Especially given there is no certainty that McD will be back next season.

Missing from your list:
1. Florida – I have no doubt Crosby would gel with that team and would enjoy the tax advantage and playing with his buddy Marchand chasing a cup. Can Florida offer much of a return?… not really but who knows. Pens could take Lundell & a 1st and improve their odds this year at McKenna.
2. Vegas – Vegas would need to find a taker for Karlsson to make the cap work but they have a couple 1sts they could offer the Pens. Crosby & Stone would be the best, oldest, toughest C/W combo to play against in the league.

If I am Crosby, I want to go to a complete team that has some level of grit and two way play, so he can slide in and not have to try to make up for major deficits on the team he is going to. Montreal is the exception to that rule, but I think they are such a long shot it wouldnt have to be cup or bust if Crosby went there like it would be in Toronto.
