Summary
"Goddamn, Sid,” his dad says softly from behind him. “When Mario said they'd definitely find someone to keep up with you, I didn't think they'd literally make someone to keep up with you.”
Sid's throat clicks as he tries to answer. “The program never works,” he says. “I'll just be waiting a year longer.”
Where the Penguins can't find a player to match Sid, so they opt to grow one from scratch instead.

Summary
“So. The league can’t avoid the issue any longer.”
Sid picks his head up from where he’s sitting at his cubby, still in a half-state of undress before today’s morning skate. His fingers are wrapped around his laces, annoyed at having his intricate lacing routine interrupted by Dan. "The issue" is nebulous enough that it sends a small lance of worry through his chest (at what he doesn’t know but vague language was never Sid’s preferred form of communication). Without meaning to, his gaze flicks over to Geno and the Russian gives the smallest shake of his head. So he doesn’t know either. Huh.
“Apparently,” Dan continues, “with the success of Heated Rivalry and… some plotline in the upcoming season, Bettman is wanting to ‘make the league more inclusive for all.’”
