Sidney Crosby will not be traded by the Penguins. According to a report by David Pagnotta, all the rumors are false, and the legend will remain in Pittsburgh for the 2025-2026 NHL season.
Even though Crosby has been linked to teams like the Colorado Avalanche and the Montreal Canadiens, the Penguins do not plan to move him. “No. I would be still very shocked if it happened at all (a trade). It would take an about-face for him to just say okay I want to move on.”
Crosby’s situation in Pittsburgh is uncertain because the team is currently far from being a Stanley Cup contender. Considering that the Canadian player is nearing the end of his career, several insiders have speculated that his final years should not be wasted if the Pens do not build a championship-caliber roster.
Are Penguins trading Sidney Crosby?
The Penguins are not trading Sidney Crosby. A few days ago, his agent already denied all the rumors, and through social media, his good friend Nathan MacKinnon also said that a departure from Pittsburgh is fake news.
Despite this, the rumors continue, and although there won’t be any changes at the start of the season, many insiders believe that a poor start for the Penguins could lead to Crosby being shopped before the trade deadline. For now, that seems very unlikely.
