Sidney Crosby has signed a two-year contract extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins, keeping him with the team through the 2026-27 season. The deal is worth $8.7 million annually, a nod to Crosby’s iconic jersey number. At 37 years old, Crosby continues to be a pivotal part of the Penguins’ lineup, coming off a 94-point season where he finished 12th in the league in scoring. This extension ensures that Crosby, already a three-time Stanley Cup champion, will remain the face of the Penguins as they aim to return to championship contention

Really cheap will give 10 mil easy
8.7 mill. was a bit of steal when he signed his first big contract, and now with inflation and rising player salaries, it's once again a steal. I couldn't love Crosby more! What. A. Legend!
Probably could have asked for a lot more on a short term deal (100%) but choose loyalty. 8.7M is cheap and a steal.
Shame that the Pens are done as a contender.
That aging core with Crosby at 37, Letang 37 and Malkin at 38 along with a lack of good young talent ensures that the Penguins will remain irrelevant.
They haven’t won a playoff round in over 6 years.
Ngl, I'm gonna cry when Sid decides to hang up his skates, just like I did when Super Mario retired (the first time).
LFG PENS ON TOP!!!!!!!
As a Pens fan, I am frankly a little disappointed he didn't stick it to the new ownership group (who don't give a shit about Pittsburgh or the fans) and as for his fair market value. I can't imagine what went on behind the scenes, but I am sure lots of other ways Crosby got what he wanted in order for them to get him for that "see everything is fine just like always" bargain.
2nd greatest pen
You’re a good guy for backing up SWT, and your hockey vids are super entertaining. Back pats for Eck. Gotta love Syd for putting aside a good amount of money so he can help the team spend money around him.
How can you not love this dude? One of the most loyal and selfless players in all of sports
I know you cant change his 8.7 million, but from a pure value standpoint, what a bargain.
you said it so right '' enjoy greatness while you can'' 👌 Sidney represents the hockey so well happy for him he stays in the same team
Dear lord is he ever gonna retire? Not mad in the slightest, I mean good for him he can do this for as long as he can. I’m just saying that it seems like the careers of pro athletes are getting longer and longer.
He would make a great coach
Any fan knows he only belongs in Pittsburgh love to see this
You don't know Crosby at all if you say there is a chance he goes for a final cup with another team lol not in a million years
Talk about Dakota Joshua
Long live the Penguin King
The Penguins are just kicking the can down the road.
And people still praise McDavid and say they don't put anyone decent around him. I wonder why

Man I remember being on the bandwagon of hating Sid back in like 2009. By 2016 he had won me over, and since then it has been an absolute blessing to watch him play every year and continue to be nothing but class.
