Sidney Crosby is nearing a contract extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins, reaffirming his commitment to the team and the city. The new deal, expected to be around three years with an average annual value of $10 million, highlights Crosby's intent to finish his career with the Penguins despite recent playoff misses. This extension follows the NHL's 2024 free-agency period where other notable players like Juuse Saros, Pavel Buchnevich, and Victor Hedman secured significant contracts. Crosby's dedication to Pittsburgh is a testament to his loyalty, having taken less money in the past to help the team build a competitive roster. As Crosby turns 37, this deal will likely be his final major contract, emphasizing his desire to retire as a Penguin.
