The Pittsburgh Penguins want to keep Sidney Crosby for life, and the latest update has revealed confidence that a deal will get done.

Sidney Crosby's future in Pittsburgh has been a major talking point in the NHL this summer, with some suggestions that he may like to pair up with a superstar like Nathan MacKinnon for the remainder of his iconic career. However, confidence has remained high in Pittsburgh that a deal can get done, and the latest update from Rob Rossi of The Athletic has echoed that confidence;
"I made a few calls to follow up, and the only real news — perhaps another subjective term — is that all parties (Crosby and his agent, Pat Brisson, and Penguins president of hockey operations/general manager Kyle Dubas) were comfortable enough with where the contract negotiations stood that everybody felt comfortable going about summer plans such as taking holidays and enjoying a bit of downtime," Rossi explained. "Nobody from the Penguins' hockey side is worried about Crosby eventually putting ink to paper. This is not to suggest some folks who deal with season-ticket holders/corporate partners aren't sweating until he does."
While contract talks haven't progressed much, that speaks to how comfortable both sides are as the team look to give Crosby his off-season away from the team, but when training camp begins, expect that to change in a big way. At 36-years of age, Crosby had yet another stellar season in 2023/24, almost single handedly carrying the team to the Stanley Cup Playoffs, he can still be an elite player in the NHL, and from all signs, he will continue on in Pittsburgh.
