NHL insider predicts Sidney Crosby could sign a new Pittsburgh Penguins contract before 2026-27 season
Sidney Crosby is heading into the final year of his contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins , but there are signs that his NHL career will continue beyond the 2026-27 season. According to The Athletic’s Josh Yohe, the Penguins captain could sign a new contract before the season begins.
Crosby has already said that retirement is not on his mind, and his strong 2025-26 season gave him another reason to continue playing. The 39-year-old captain, already with more than 20 years with the Penguins, is now entering another contract year. The biggest question is not whether Crosby wants to continue, but when he will sign his next deal and how long it will be.
