Sidney Crosby on the verge of extending his deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins fans can breathe easy as Sidney Crosby's contract extension is nearly complete, with reports indicating a three-year deal worth $10 million per season.

The only remaining issue between Sidney Crosby's representatives and GM Kyle Dubas is the guaranteed sum and payment terms, but it's clear that the 37-year-old is set to remain in Pittsburgh for some time.

Given the aging of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang, fans are starting to question if it's time to move on. The Penguins have missed the playoffs in the last two seasons, ending a notable 16-year streak.

However, this Crosby extension indicates otherwise. Fans are hopeful that this core group, which led Pittsburgh to back-to-back championships in 2016 and 2017, still has another successful run ahead.

Is it possible that the third time will be the charm for this trio to reach the playoffs once more?
