Sidney Crosby and the Penguins contract extension: Crucial update announced
Sidney Crosby has been the cornerstone of the Pittsburgh Penguins for twenty years, and it looks like his journey with the team will carry on well into the future.
Even though the Penguins missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second year in a row, captain Sidney Crosby had yet another incredible year,, tallying 94 points across 82 games.
Amid the recent team disappointment, questions about Crosby's future have surfaced. However, the latest update indicates that he is set to extend his stay in Pittsburgh, likely until the end of his remarkable career.
The team and player are confident a deal will be agreed upon and formalized soon, the sources said.
According to The Athletic's Rob Rossi, while specific details about the potential deal remain undisclosed, it's a positive sign for Kyle Dubas that negotiations are progressing.
Considering Crosby's immense significance to the Penguins, it's hard to imagine him in any other uniform. At 36 years old, if a new deal is reached, it will likely be the final contract of his career, cementing his legacy as a Penguins all-time great.
