  1. I'm a penguins fan. Pittsburgh sports media keeps telling me not to be worried about it. But I am certainly worried about it until that contract is signed.

  2. I heard, it stems from the undecidedness of how long Crosby wants to continue to play and doesn't wanna sign a contract and retire and penalize the Penguins.

  3. If Crosby doesn't re-sign in Pittsburgh, I think he goes home to Montréal.
    There's just something about him finishing his career on the team that he grew up cheering for.
    Wearing an 87 Habs jersey in the bell centre every night would be cool not only for it being full circle but also, he'd get to finally say that he got to play for a Canadian market.

  4. As a Penguins fan, I'm okay with the speculation. It could all turn out to be a nothing burger and he's just undecided on how many years he wants, but there's no guarantee. Yes he's loyal to the team and values the idea of one team for your entire career, but he's also a really competitive guy who believes in his team (undeservedly so at this point). It isn't unrealistic to think a desire to win again could beat out his desire to stay as a one team guy.

  5. (Putting on tin foil hat) Ryan Johansen loses his contract termination case, frees up more cap for Preds, Barry Trotz cooks at trade deadline. Sidney Crosby plays hockey on the same line with Steven Stamkos.

  6. Too bad Colorado doesn't have the cap space so he could play with Mack. That would be awesome for the hockey world to witness.

  7. The only reason the contract isn't done yet is because Crosby is trying to take less money while Dubas keeps trying to give him more

  8. I have seen this "idea" before… And lolz at this. Nope
    Crosby is a pengu for life.
    Not even news. He will retire in the burg, and his numbers will hit the rafters

  9. Crosby is the kinda guy that if he thinks he’s gonna win he’ll take league minimum.
    Watch.
    If he doesn’t sign maybe he goes to Edmonton or Colorado on the cheap.

  10. I traveled into the future and found an excerpt from an article from TSN, or the Toronto Sun… something like that. The future's going to be interesting.

    As you all surely know, the hockey world is still mourning the loss of Sidney Crosby, who passed away last year at the age of eighty-seven. But what's been lost in all the accolades is the very real possibility that Crosby may still sign with the Maple Leafs for the upcoming 2075 – 2076 NHL season. The odds of this happening went up dramatically when new Leafs captain, seventy-nine year old Nathan MacKinnon, signed with the team last year. And even with their advanced age, you'd be crazy to think that tandem couldn't finally propel Toronto beyond the Second Round for the first time since the 2001 – 2002 season.

  11. Sid is being smart here. If Pittsburgh doesn't have him signed by the end of next August, they'll still hold cap space for him. He could be looking at a lot of things, including taking more money if the team around him doesn't get better. He simply doesn't need to make a decision now.

  12. Crosby signs with Washington and help Ovi to break Gretzky's goal record, that would be most epic moment in NHL history 😄

  13. Steve, Jesse and Adam … admit it. You posted this simply to troll Dan Kovacevic and the rest of the Pittsburgh media. While I am an Islanders fan, I consume as much NHL content as possible. If you really thought Crosby might sign elsewhere, you'd be quoting his agent, and echoing the rest of the Canadian media echochamber. To your credit, you did get an indirect response from Dan in his daily Penguins podcast, so that and a looney will get you a diet coke.

    Just one more note, and it is meant to be a constructive criticism. When I am scouring YouTube for hockey content, as see a full podcast of something like two hours, sometimes I'll watch, other times I'll just say to myself "too much." I like SDPN in digestible portions. So when I see "FREE AGENT CROSBY!?" at 5:39, I say to myself, I'll watch that much just for a giggle, because I fully expect it to be a troll job. But I like quality hockey content so I 'll watch more often than I pass. One more point: I just scrolled through the the SDPN Store Merch and I have a question: When does Victory Puppy get his own merch?

  14. Would never happen, but his former Management team is in Vancouver…..that would turn the League on it's collective ear.
