Reported figures for Sidney Crosby's next contract have surfaced
For the first time in his Hall of Fame NHL career, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby missed out on the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive year, raising questions about his future.
It's no secret that Crosby, along with fellow Pittsburgh franchise cornerstones Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, are all on the opposite side of 35 years of age and aren't getting any younger. Additionally, Crosby has one year left on his 12-year, $104.4 million deal (with an AAV of $8.7 million, a nod to his sweater number) and can become a free agent in the summer of 2025.
New contract for Crosby in the works
The good news for Penguins fans is that a new contract for Crosby is reportedly in the works and could be signed in the near future. Although official numbers haven't been released, multiple pundits on social media suggest Crosby's next contract might be around three years with an AAV of $10 million, a raise from his current $8.7 million AAV.
Despite his age, Crosby shows no signs of slowing down, having scored 42 goals and 52 assists while playing in all 82 regular season games in 2023-24. His consistent performance continues to solidify his legacy as one of the greatest players in both Penguins and NHL history.
Crosby's new contract, if finalized, would secure his presence in Pittsburgh for a few more years, providing stability and leadership for the team as they navigate a new era. His potential contract extension not only excites fans but also reinforces his unwavering commitment to the Penguins.
