Breaking: Pittsburgh Penguins Extend Sidney Crosby

The Pittsburgh Penguins needed to extend Sidney Crosby before the start of the 2024-2025 season. Crosby entering this season only had one year remaining on his contract. He has been one of the star players for this franchise over the past two decades. Crosby has been in the NHL since the 2005-2006 season. He has won three Stanley Cup titles with the franchise and has also won other awards in his career. Did something finally happen?

On Monday morning, the Pittsburgh Penguins Twitter page announced that Sidney Crosby received a new contract extension. He will be getting a two-year contract extension worth $8.7 million per season. This contract will expire after the 2026-2027 season. Crosby could have very well received more than $10 million per season, but he decided not to go that route. He wants to win another championship with Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, and others on the team. Sidney Crosby has been one of the best players that Mike Sullivan has ever coached.

Crosby last season scored 42 goals and recorded 52 assists, along with a plus/minus rating of 7. He is still one of the best players in the NHL for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It will be interesting to see if Sidney Crosby retired after the 2026-2027 season or if he will continue to play after that. With Crosby now being extended, they can now focus on extending defenseman Marcus Pettersson. He is also in the final year of his contract. They may wait until after the season to get him a new contract, but the fans can exhale with Sidney Crosby getting a new contract.
