Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby has responded to recent trade speculation surrounding him, stating that his focus remains solely on helping the team achieve success. Despite the Penguins' struggles this season, Crosby, who signed a two-year contract extension this summer, continues to be a dominant force on the ice.
Sidney Crosby addressed the recent trade speculation surrounding him, stating he can't control outside noise and will not engage in discussions about every rumor. The Pittsburgh Penguins star, who signed a two-year contract extension this past summer, emphasized his commitment to the team and his desire to help them succeed. Crosby, 37, has 15 goals and 53 points in 52 games this season, but the Penguins have struggled to maintain a playoff position.
The team currently sits second-last in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind a spot. 'I'm trying to do everything I possibly can for us,' Crosby said. 'Be at my best, to give us a chance to win every night, to be a good teammate. We all want to get through a difficult point right now. That's my mindset.' TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston recently reported that Crosby has no interest in being traded and is considered untouchable by the Penguins due to his no-movement clause and lack of desire to be dealt. Despite the team's recent struggles, Crosby's performance has remained consistent. He achieved his third 40-goal season last year, scoring 42 goals and accumulating 94 points in 82 games. He followed that with 33 goals and 93 points in the 2022-23 season. Crosby has spent his entire 20-year career with the Penguins since being drafted first overall in the 2005 NHL Draft. He has amassed 607 goals, 1,042 assists, and 1,649 points in 1,324 games played, holding the franchise records for games played and assists. He continues to pursue Mario Lemieux's franchise records of 690 goals and 1,723 points. A two-time Hart Trophy winner, Crosby has led the Penguins to Stanley Cup victories in 2009, 2016, and 2017.
