Sidney Crosby was expected to sign a contract extension on July 1st but has not done so four days later, and a deal may no longer be imminent.

Sidney Crosby, a cornerstone of the Pittsburgh Penguins throughout his illustrious NHL career, boasts impressive statistics, including 1,078 games played, 443 goals, 776 assists, and 1,219 points as of the 2022-23 season's end.

His accolades include three Stanley Cup championships, two Olympic gold medals, and two Hart Trophies for league MVP. Despite his enduring dominance, speculation about Crosby's future with the Penguins has arisen.

In a recent article, former player Nick Kypreos noted Crosby's lack of urgency in signing a new contract, hinting at potential changes ahead.

Eyebrows were raised when the Penguins did not announce a contract extension for Sidney Crosby on July 1, and there isn't one expected this week. Word is that while both sides are in conversation, there is no rush from Crosby's side. Read into that however you want.

After another underwhelming free agency period, doubts have surfaced regarding Crosby's desire to extend his contract. Does he trust General Manager Kyle Dubas to lead the team to success? Or does he seek one last shot at a championship elsewhere?

If Crosby chooses to leave his lifelong team, it will be intriguing to see his next move, as he would undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after free agents in NHL history, despite his age.
