Sidney Crosby shuts down rumors and confirms his future with Pittsburgh in latest interview

The offseason has been filled with concern among Penguins fans regarding the future of their iconic trio-Sidney Crosby, Kristopher Letang, and Evgeni Malkin. While all three of these players are nearing the end of their respective careers, Sidney Crosby is showing no signs of slowing down, and has still been consistently proving to himself and others that he is a force to be reckoned with on the ice.

Now, with rumors going around the internet for months, there's finally been some positive news. Crosby himself has confirmed that talks about a contract extension are moving in a good direction, giving fans hope for what's to come.

while Crosby was pretty closed about a certain timeframe all this would take place between, he did at least confirm that a deal is being negotiated and his spot with the Penguins is almost certainly secured. This new deal would likely secure his spot in Pittsburgh for the remainder of his legendary career. Though some fans have called for the team to rebuild, there's no denying Crosby's insanely good-natured status in Pittsburgh. After delivering three Stanley Cup titles, he has certainly earned the right to stay as long as he desires.

Crosby's career with the Penguins is quite legendary, having Crosby has appeared in 1,272 regular season games, making 592 goals and 1,596 points. If he can maintain this level of play for a few more seasons, he will likely solidify his place as one of the top 10, or even top five, players in NHL history.
