After intense rumours of Sidney Crosby's potential trade at this year's deadline, Crosby has opened up about his future and where he would like to retire.

Sidney Crosby Involved in Several Rumors At This Year's Deadline



Sidney Crosby has been the face of the Pittsburgh Penguins since he was drafted by the Pens first overall back in 2005. It's never been a risk that Crosby would leave Pittsburgh, as he has been their leader throughout their ups and downs. However, at this year's deadline, there were several rumours that Crosby could be traded.

According to a good source he gave three teams he'd be ok with IF they approached him about a trade now or offseason #Leafs #Avalanche on the list.. nobody said Leafs would acquire him today or tmrw but they're on his list IF they wanted to get serious.




With the Penguins struggling this year, and Crosby set for a new contract at the end of the season, there was some talk that it would be best for the organization to trade him while his value is still high. Crosby has 32 goals and 32 assists through 64 games this season, an incredible feat for the 36-year-old.

Crosby Reassures Pens Fans That he Wants To Retire in Pittsburgh



In a recent interview, Crosby reassured Penguins fans that he would love to retire in Pittsburgh, playing his whole career in one city, however right now he is worried about making playoffs.

"I'm not thinking about my next contract right now, but yes, I've always said it: I want to finish my career in Pittsburgh. But right now, I'm focused on trying to make the playoffs." - Sidney Crosby


Clearly, Kyle Dubas has his work cut out for him, as he will have to sign Crosby to what is likely his last contract in the NHL. We will see how Dubas decides to play this during the offseason.
