Crosby's new two-year contract extension, worth $8.7 million annually, marks a strategic decision for both the player and the Penguins organization, balancing performance and flexibility.
Crosby mentioned, 'You don't really know the trajectory of everything and how you're going to feel mentally, physically. I think that when you get to this point, you understand that's more of a reality with every year you play.'
The contract ensures Crosby, who has led the Penguins to three Stanley Cup championships, receives a sizable signing bonus while still granting his team future flexibility.
Crosby, now facing the twilight of his career at age 39, affirmed the need to evaluate his performance and state every year, ensuring the contract was appropriate.
