Reports surfaced this past week that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Sidney Crosby could be closing in on a new contract extension that will allow the captain to finish his career with the only team he has ever known. Given Crosby’s importance to the organization and the city, as well as the fact he is still one of the league’s best and most productive players, that is only good news for the Penguins and their fans.
But given that Crosby is going to be 37 years old when the 2024-25 season begins it is worth asking — and wondering — what the rest of his career could look like from a production standpoint.
