Sidney Crosby discusses contract extension details with Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby confirmed that he is currently engaged in contract extension negotiations with general manager Kyle Dubas. Speaking at the NHL Media Tour on Tuesday, the 39-year-old indicated a desire to continue his playing career but noted that determining a specific term length remains difficult at his age. Crosby is entering the final year of a two-year contract he signed in 2024. While the logistics regarding the length of a new deal are still being discussed, both sides view an extension as a priority. Crosby recorded 29 goals and 74 points across 68 games during the 2025-26 season. Dubas previously stated that the team plans to continue talks as the season approaches, acknowledging that player contract situations often shift to a year-to-year basis as athletes enter their late 30s.
