The 37-year-old Crosby didn’t ask for a raise even though he remains one of the most productive players in the NHL. He led the Penguins in goals, assists and points last season
The Penguins star signed a two-year contract extension on Monday that runs through the 2026-27 season. The deal, which carries an average annual value of $8.7-million, would keep Crosby in Pittsburgh until nearly his 40th birthday.
The 37-year-old Crosby, a three-time Stanley Cup winner and two-time league MVP, didn’t ask for a raise even though he remains one of the most productive players in the NHL. Crosby led the Penguins in goals , assists and points last season, well clear of the rest of an underachieving club that missed the playoffs for a second straight year.
Crosby’s salary staying flat gives the Penguins a little more wiggle room as the NHL’s oldest team tries to figure out a way to get back into contention.
