Sidney Crosby may not end his career with the Pittsburgh Penguins
Superstar captain Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins still hasn't signed a contract extension with the club, and it has many wondering about his future.
Let's start by first taking a look at Penguins insider Rob Rossi's point of view, who believes that Penguins fans have absolutely nothing to worry about regarding these stalled contract talks with Crosby.
Last month it seemed that Crosby and the Penguins were closing in on a contract extension, however no further developments were ever revealed, so it seems like no progress was made there. Crosby is about to turn 37, and the Penguins are not a team that is expected to make a deep run in the playoffs, if they even end up making it.

There is no indication that Crosby feels he absolutely has to remain with one franchise for his entire career, and as he inches closer to retirement, he may start to ponder about joining true contenders.
August 7th is the magic number, as that's the latest Crosby has ever agreed to a contract extension in his career. If we pass that date, chances will grow higher and higher that Crosby is thinking about packing his bags and flying elsewhere next summer. Penguins fans sure don't want to lose his 1,596 points in the 1,272 games he's suited up for their team.
