The Pittsburgh Penguins and captain Sidney Crosby have been linked together for decades. Heading into the 2024-25 season, Crosby is in the last year of his contract. Earlier this month, sources confirmed that the two sides were discussing a contract extension, with the Penguins making it a priority.
However, recent reports reveal that the contract talks have stalled, causing concern among fans.
A new report from Pittsburgh sports writer Dan Kingerski has cast doubt on Sidney Crosby's future in Pittsburgh. According to his sources, contract discussions between Crosby and the Penguins have not progressed as expected.
This situation is worrying for Penguins fans, especially considering a similar situation occurred with Tampa Bay's captain Steven Stamkos last year. Stamkos ended up signing a long-term contract with the Nashville Predators.
"STEVEN STAMKOS HAS SIGNED WITH THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS: FOUR YEARS, $8M AAV FOR STAMMER TIME."
While the Stamkos situation is an anomaly, it raises the possibility that Sidney Crosby could find a new home if contract talks don't improve.
