The Pittsburgh Penguins are closing in a deal that will keep their captain around for his entire career.
Sidney Crosby has been eligible for a contract extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins for a whole week, and it may soon be time to put pen to paper. Despite numerous analysts looking for ways to get Crosby out of Pittsburgh, he is ready to sign on the dotted line and become a Penguin for life.“Multiple team and league sources briefed on negotiations told,” Rossi writes. “The team and player are confident a deal will be agreed upon and formalized soon.
Even if the Penguins have missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of the last two seasons and haven’t reached the season round since 2018, Crosby wants to stick with the Penguins.Full details of the deal were not given, but early speculations have predicted a deal around three years and $10 million per season. Since signing his first non-ELC contract in 2007, Crosby has only made $8.7 million against the salary cap.
