Sidney Crosby was expected to sign a contract extension on July 1st, the first day he was eligible. However, four days later, he still hasn't signed, and a deal may no longer be imminent.

Crosby has spent his entire career with the Pittsburgh Penguins and is one of the most accomplished players in NHL history. As of the end of the 2022-23 season, he has played in 1,078 games, scoring 443 goals and 776 assists for a total of 1,219 points.

Throughout his career, Crosby has won numerous awards, 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 his impressive resume, there is a possibility that Crosby's time with the Penguins could be ending. In a recent article, Nick Kypreos mentioned that Crosby is in no rush to sign a new contract.

Eyebrows were raised when the Penguins did not announce a contract extension for Sidney Crosby on July 1, and there isn't one expected this week. Word is that while both sides are in conversation, there is no rush from Crosby's side. Read into that however you want.

After another disappointing free agency, questions have arisen about whether Crosby wants to extend his deal. Does he believe new General Manager Kyle Dubas has what it takes to succeed? Or does Crosby want to chase one final championship?

If Crosby decides to leave the only team he has ever known, it will be fascinating to see where he goes next. Despite his age, he would be one of the most highly pursued free agents in NHL history.
