Pittsburgh Penguins captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion Sidney Crosby having his name mentioned in trade rumors became a bit of an offseason tradition before he agreed to a two-year contract extension this past September and before the club surprisingly parted ways with head coach Mike Sullivan in late April.

Sullivan's departure from Pittsburgh is making for a very interesting offseason for the Penguins. Who's the right coach to replace him?

Mike Sullivan and the Penguins have agreed to part ways, the team announced on Monday morning, ending his tenure as the Penguins' coach after nine seasons.
