Sidney Crosby 'in no rush' to sign contract with the Pittsburgh Penguis
Sidney Crosby was expected to sign a contract extension on July 1st, the first day he was eligible, 4 days later he hasn't signed and a deal may no longer be imminent.
Sidney Crosby has spent his entire year career with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He is one of the most accomplished players in NHL history, with a impressive array of career stats. As of the end of the 2022-23 season, Crosby has played in 1,078 games, scoring 443 goals and 776 assists for a total of 1,219 points.
Crosby has won numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, including three Stanley Cup championships, two Olympic gold medals, and two Hart Trophies as the league's MVP. He continues to be one of the most dominant players in the league, showing no signs of slowing down as he approaches the twilight of his career.
Despite all of this, is it possible that his time with the Penguins could be coming to an end. In a recent article by Nick Kypreos the former player states that Crosby is in no rush to sign a new contract.
After another disappointing free agency there have been questions of whether Crosby wants to extend his deal. Does Crosby believe new General Manager Kyle Dubas has what it takes to get the job done? Or does Crosby want to chase one final championship?
If Crosby makes a decision to move on from the only team he has ever known, it will be very interesting to see where he goes next. He will be one of the most highly pursued free agents in NHL history in spite of his age.
