Crosby's posteuring with this Swiss club is his way of picking the team he wants to land with (a la Eric Lindros). If he doesn't want to play for the team he lands with, he will threaten to play in the Swiss league, but it will only be a ploy. There is no way Reebok and Gatorade will let him do that; they probably have clauses in their contracts about it. On the other hand, endorsement deals often get boosted when a player is in a premier market, like NY or LA, so he probably would try to force getting traded there so he could make more money. In the long run, however, it might be the best thing for the Sabres to trade him if they get him (remember how the Nordiques got Forsberg and a bunch of other good players for Lindros)
