Sidney Crosby has been the face of the Penguins for a long time, and now his star teammate has weighed in on his future in Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have struggled in recent years, but with franchise icon Sidney Crosby still leading the team, there is hope they can turn things around and make a Stanley Cup push. However, Crosby is set to hit free agency soon, and his future in the NHL has been a topic of discussion. Teammate Evgeni Malkin recently shared his thoughts on the matter.

"Pittsburgh is Crosby. Crosby is Pittsburgh. No one in Pittsburgh would understand if he changed teams. Although anything can happen, sometimes things happen that have a one percent chance of happening. But before signing my current contract, we talked. And he hold me that the Penguins are us: me, him and (Kris) Letang. I signed my contract. He will probably make the same decision."

It comes as no surprise that Malkin believes Crosby will remain a Penguin, especially given their discussions when Malkin was a free agent. Whether or not it's best for the future of the team, Crosby's future seems tied to Pittsburgh. At 36 years old, Crosby had an incredible 2023-24 season, tallying 94 points and almost single-handedly leading the team to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Whether he stays in Pittsburgh or goes elsewhere, expect him to get a significant contract.
