REPORT: Sidney Crosby about to sign new extension, and it's a bargain
Penguins fans can breathe easy as Sidney Crosby's contract extension is nearly finalized. The deal, reportedly a three-year contract worth $10 million annually, has only minor details left to iron out, such as the guaranteed amount and payment schedule.
This extension ensures that the 37-year-old captain will remain in Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future, continuing his tenure alongside long-time teammates Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. Despite the Penguins missing the playoffs for the past two seasons, this move underscores the team's faith in their veteran core.
Crosby, Malkin, and Letang, who led Pittsburgh to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and 2017, still have the potential for another playoff run. Crosby's extension maintains stability and reignites fans' hope for a return to glory. As final details are sorted, excitement builds for the upcoming season and the Penguins' potential resurgence.
