• Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Inks two-year extension

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Crosby signed a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Monday. Crosby is heading into the final season of the 12-year, $104.4 million deal that he signed back in June 2012, and his extension will keep him around in Pittsburgh for two additional seasons. The 37-year-old was thought to be in pursuit of a pay raise for his next deal, but his extension will contain the same $8.7 million annual average value as his previous 12-year contract, allowing the notoriously superstitious Crosby to continue matching his cap hit with his iconic No. 87 for two more years. After reaching the 90-point threshold both of the past two seasons, Crosby's deal represents a significant discount that should provide the Penguins with plenty of cap flexibility into the future.
