Sidney Crosby could also be 36, however he’s nonetheless an influence participant within the Nationwide League.
He’s (nonetheless) producing at a price of over 80 factors per season, which is spectacular at his age.
However the Penguins captain’s brilliance doesn’t imply his workforce could be dominant this season. The Penguins are getting old, and it’s displaying: the workforce is at the moment in second-to-last place within the Metropolitan Division, with a 12-12-3 document after 27 video games.
Crosby’s contract expires on the finish of subsequent season (24-25), and he can be as free as a chook in the summertime of 2025.
Everyone knows how a lot he has the Penguins emblem tattooed on his coronary heart, however Arpon Basu believes that the veteran may take into consideration taking part in elsewhere, if he needs the prospect to win one other Stanley Cup and the Penguins aren’t prepared to supply him that probability:
You need to give it some thought. Particularly in the event that they don’t make the playoffs. I wouldn’t be shocked if these concepts begin circulating in Sidney Crosby’s head. – Arpon Basu
The possibilities of seeing Sidney Crosby in an NHL uniform aside from that of the Penguins are slim to none.
But when Pittsburgh continues to flounder… Delusion or actuality?

However as Arpon Basu identified in his column on BPM Sports, it wouldn’t be the primary time we’ve seen an NHL (or different main sports activities) legend use this technique.
Martin Brodeur ended his profession in St. Louis, in a Blues uniform…
Henrik Lundqvist signed a contract with the Capitals, earlier than retiring…
Tom Brady left the New England Patriots to hitch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers…
On the opposite aspect of the coin, it was Sidney Crosby who pushed onerous this summer season for Kyle Dubas to commerce for the companies of Erik Karlsson. It will be a disgrace for Dubas if Crosby determined to depart the group…
However that’s a part of the recreation.
It’ll be one thing to comply with with curiosity, as a result of Sidney Crosby… He’s Sidney Crosby, we agree.
