Captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby has one year left on his contract and there has been a lot of speculation on the numbers he can expect in a deal. With Crosby as well as the other two core guys Letang and Malkin over 35 years old, the Penguins should be in a win one more now state of mind. Crosby is in the final year of his 12-year $104.4 million dollar deal (AVV of $8.7 million which is his number and birthday 8/7). He would be eligible to be a free agent after next season without a deal. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/ChelPenguins/status/1820120725472084169'> </a></blockquote></div> Penguins Insider Rob Rossi of the Athletic let's Penguins fans know there is no need to worry.
