Numerous reasons for the delay have been pondered by pundits and analysts, but the Penguins and Crosby made it clear early on that they would keep negotiations close to their chest. With Crosby stating his optimism and saying it’s been an easy process, there is once again no need to worry in Pittsburgh.
