Sidney Crosby is confident he will have a new contract signed before the start of the NHL regular season.
Speaking at the NHL/NHLPA player media tour's North American leg Monday, Crosby said he expects to ink a contract extension before the team opens its regular season on Oct. 9.
The Cole Harbour, N.S., product made the playoffs 16 straight seasons from 2007 through 2022, but has missed out the last two springs as the team tries to retool alongside an aging core led by Crosby, "We've been right there," Crosby said."We finished really strong. We all felt pretty good about hanging in there the way that we did. We're just hoping that we can be a little more consistent in a few areas."
Crosby, 37, will enter 2024-25 just four points shy of 1,600 for his career and was named one of Canada's first six players for February's 4 Nations Face-Off tournament — the closest thing men's hockey has had to a best-on-best tournament since the 2014 Olympics.
