The 2023-24 NHL season hasn't gone according to plan for Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. Instead of vying for another championship deep into summer, the team's playoff hopes are fading fast. This early break from the postseason could give Crosby time to consider a contract extension, with negotiations possibly starting on July 1, 2024.

Recent reports indicate Crosby might take a significant pay cut to help the Penguins build a stronger team around him, similar to what other star players have done for their teams in the past.
With plenty of salary cap space and a desire to keep Crosby, the Penguins seem poised to make him a compelling offer. Most believe Crosby wants to finish his career in Pittsburgh, making an extension likely.
While this news brings some relief to Penguins fans, trade talks swirl around forward Jake Guentzel ahead of the deadline, highlighting the team's need to shake things up.
As of now, the Penguins sit in sixth place in the Metropolitan division, eight points shy of a playoff spot, currently held by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
