What is most likely going to happen when Sidney Crosby’s contract expires?



It is either he extends his contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he becomes a free agent and possibly signs with a different team, or he retires.

    I dont see him retiring… hes gonna jagr it.

  2. robotinforest

    I cant see him choosing to play with a different organization. Id say its very likely he resigns with the pens

  3. muffdiver_69420

    I see him signing for a couple more years, and if he really falls off in that time, he’ll retire.

  4. They probably are going to extend him… he still has 2 good years or so left in the tank.

    He re-signs, no question. He’s already won his cups, he saved the Pittsburgh franchise and you know he has way too much respect for Lemieux and the league. Even if the team goes 0-82, he ultimately never plays for another team.

    At the end of the day it comes down to what he wants. I don’t know how important another cup run is for him when he already has won 3, so if by the end of his career he wishes to do that I’m sure the pens will grant him his wish. On the other hand if he wants to be a penguin for life he has earned his stay 30x over

    RE-signs a 3-4 year with the Penguin and if the penguins are struggling he gets sent to Avalanche for a one final run and retires

    I think we all expect him to end up in Colorado at some point if he doesn’t retire a Penguin. My friends think he’s going to finish his career in Montreal. I don’t see that happening.

  9. VinPickles

    Hes gonna sign a 3 year or so and thatll be it. He will give them some semblance of discount but not as steep as in years past

  10. accountwasnecessary

    Yall gotta learn the difference between resign and re-sign

  11. roe_bi_wan

    When his contract expires, he will stop being paid as per the terms of that contract

    jk. he’s a penguins lifer the same way Lemieux was.

  13. Capt_Pickhard

    I think as soon as Pittsburgh won’t be willing to give him 8.7 mil. He will retire.

    Not sure when his contract is up. He might take 1 year chunks at 8.7, idk.

  14. NomadAug

    Like all great players he will go to the Rangers for an outragious amont of money, play like shit, and retire in Pittsburg.

  15. SimilarWall1447

    Even wayne was traded, 3x. There’s still chance

  16. Bobrobdan

    Depends on how much he wants another cup ! He ain’t getting it with his current club

  17. avanross

    Im assuming the nhl just kinda ends and everyone goes home…

  18. blah54895

    Re-signs for min and brings 2 more cups to the state of Florida

  19. NeitherNarwhal1587

    You’ll see an influx of the first name Sidney in Pennsylvania for new borns for about 2-3 years XD

  20. Lucapatuca

    Come to Montreal, his childhood team.

  21. ZisforZeke

    The Penguins are going to spiral into a dark age. I’d like to say Pitt has a loyal fan base, but last time this happened they nearly dissolved.

  22. nhabster

    He joins his childhood team, the Habs and we win the Cup!!!

  23. tellmomicalled

    Crosby’s going to at least for sure I can feel it

  24. Responsible-Till396

    Signs with the Flyers to help us with MM and if he performs that as well as expected we will sign him for two more years for our Stanley Cup!

    utah hockey club legend sidney crosby

  26. brendan87na

    he transforms into a being of pure light and ascends

  27. shoresy17

    Contract extension with Pittsburgh then majority ownership of the team. He’ll retire after playing a year with McKenna.

  28. Clydefrog030371

    He’s kind of a weirdo , and if memory serves his contract is 12×8.7 cuz his birthday is 8/7/87.

    So I wonder if he’s going to be expecting 8.7 per again?

  29. Weeble317

    Crosby finishes up his last year in Pittsburgh then signs a one year deal with Washington next summer so he can get Ovie over the hump to break Wayne’s record.

    Sid/Ovie ride off into the sunset together while heads explode all over western PA and throughout Canada

    He will re-sign and the Pens will be garbage for a year or two, then the franchise will get another generational 1st Overall pick that will learn from Crosby. Bang-boom, your 2028 Stanley Cup Champions Pittsburgh Penguins.

    Edit. Spelling

    He is definitely #1 player from his generation of stars. Hopefully, he doesn’t sign with the Maple Laughs
