This extension for Crosby by GM Kyle Dubas signals that the team isn't ready to give up on this legendary core just yet. The last thing to iron out is the guaranteed amount and payment each season, but it's clear the 37-year-old will be in black and gold into his 40's.
Crosby deal is close to being finalized. Still comes in at 3x10M AAV. The only holdup is how much is guaranteed and paid out in the beginning. Crosby is going to be in Pittsburgh for a while.
Now, it's possible the core group of Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin, and Crosby who won consecutive Cups in 2016 and 17 can now go for one last hurrah together.
