Crosby is in the final season of a 12-year contract. The new deal starts in the 2025-26 season and runs through the 2026-27 season, when Crosby will be 39 years old.
The Penguins have re-signed captain Sidney Crosby to a two-year contract extension that runs through the 2026-27 season and carries an average annual value of $8.7 million. Crosby and his representatives had been discussing the shape of this contract for a while, knowing that he had one year left on his current deal. Some speculated the term would be shorter, others speculated it could be in the range of four years with an average value over $10 million. But Crosby landed on two years and $8.
The Penguins captain has led his team to three Stanley Cup championships, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2016 and 2017. He's won the Hart Trophy as NHL regular-season MVP twice. Crosby is first among active players in career points with 1,596, the 10th highest total in NHL history.
