    Moments that make you wish you were born a boy who was good at sports

    Crazy considering most of those years he was underpaid in comparison to his peers.

  3. ChristyLovesGuitars

    Wild to consider he’s never taken market value.

  4. hammertown87

    I remember us “winning” the lotto to get him and my head hit my ceiling I was so happy

  5. DERELICT1212

    Probably at least double that in endorsements.

  6. Alive_Recognition_81

    Could have paid him double, and I wouldn’t bat an eye. True legend.

  7. RussellVolckman

    He purposely takes $8.7 million due to superstition

  8. Equivalent-Treat-431

    A lot for hockey but gonna be what nba stars make in 2 years soon

  9. PoorPauly

    Didn’t he also get an absurd endorsement deal with Reebok?

  10. Wonderful-Ad-829

    Crazy to think NBA role players make more than him

  11. Crazy to think that someone is worth $150 million to play sports that they love.

    When have they ever had some of the highest salaries among major proffesional sports?😂 in a couple years nba superstars will have salaries that much an entire teams salary cap!😂😂😾

    Crosby is a great ice hockey player for my favourite ice hockey team, but I will not stoop down to this level of simping. I refuse.

    He should have gotten the entire teams salary this year….as he was the only guy showing up every night.

  15. No-Rub-5054

    Hasnt ovechkin allways had a higher salary? Thought he would be no1.

    Sidney singlehandedly makes everyone on his team better. There’s very few players in NHL history that has accomplished what he has.

    I can guarantee you there won’t be a dry eye in Nova Scotia the day he retires, let alone the city of Pittsburgh.

    A steal of a deal really. How many other teams have spent half a billion and have no cup to show for it.

    I love Sid! I don’t love random misinformation/clickbait.

    One quick search on capfriendly will show you that Sid is not “leading the pack” since Ovechkin has made a few million more dollars earned in his contracts. What’s the point in lying about Crosby being “highest paid NHL player” when it’s such a superficial thing to discuss and so easy to fact check to prove wrong? Sillyness.

    I have to admit I was taken back by this. For all these years I was under the assumption he was taking hometown cuts and was underpaid in comparison to other players. This makes me happy because he does deserve every penny. I think we all know to that he probably still has 90% or more of that change. I still say give him whatever he wants. Call me nostaglic, he’s still got it and worth the presence in the room for years to come. I know we are bias but I truly think Sid is one of the most respectable, well-behaved examples of someone, anyone would want to represent them or their city. He’s been everything and more he was billed to be. Thank you Sid.
