The NHL’s main website put the spotlight on the Penguins yesterday for season previews and fantasy implications. They asked some questions, and we will answer them!
1. Is there enough support for Sidney Crosby?
Crosby is entering the final season of a 12-year, $104.4 million contract ($8.7 million average annual value) at 37 years old and remains likely to sign a new contract to stay in Pittsburgh.
It’s less certain if the Penguins can complement their captain and face of the franchise.
Crosby led Pittsburgh with 94 points (42 goals, 52 assists) in 82 games last season, ahead of fellow center Evgeni Malkin (67 points; 27 goals, 40 assists).
