There have been many ups and downs in the past month when it comes to the situation in Pittsburgh, as they attempt to keep their core together for one last ride. But now it seems the core will ride together for a few more years.
The Pittsburgh Penguins have now locked up their cup winning core for a lot longer than most teams would. Sidney Crosby is signed until he is 37-years-old, Evgeni Malkin until he is 39-years-old and Kris Letang will be 41-years-old when his contract expires. There will be a lot of grey in those playoff beards.
