Rumors are swirling about Sidney Crosby's new contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. An insider has shared the likely details.
Sidney Crosby is one of the NHL's most famous players, alongside Connor McDavid. He's been the face of the Penguins throughout his career and is expected to sign an extension soon. But what will his salary be?
According to Rob Rossi from The Athletic, Crosby is expected to sign a three-year deal at $10 million per year. This would be the highest annual salary of his career, though his previous 12-year contract averaged $8.7 million annually.

At 36, Crosby remains one of the NHL's top performers, scoring 94 points in 82 games last season. He continues to defy age with his impressive play.
This would be the richest contract of his career, and many believe he's earned it. Once General Manager Kyle Dubas finalizes the deal, it'll be official.
Would you want Crosby for three more years at a $10 million cap hit? I sure would. Now we just wait for the official announcement.
