Since July 1st, Kyle Dubas and the Penguins have had the right to negotiate a contract extension with Sidney Crosby, but nothing has been finalized yet.

This situation is starting to drag on, causing many observers to worry about his future with Mario Lemieux's team.

Sidney Crosby is an extremely superstitious person. While it is normal for him not to sign a contract on July 1st, it is less so for him not to sign on August 7th.

Indeed, signing on the 8th month and the 7th day was highly anticipated, especially since it's his birthday. To give you some context, he was born on August 7, 1987, which explains his number 87 and many decisions, like the amount he earns per season ($8.7 million).

Since then, many people have been worried and believe that the kid might not sign with the Penguins, but Crosby himself was willing to comment on the situation in front of the media.

During the media tour in Las Vegas, Sidney Crosby confirmed that negotiations are going very well and that there is absolutely nothing complicated so far. He is very confident about staying in Pittsburgh.

This is a relief for the team's fans and for the hockey world in general. Sidney Crosby has been the face of the organization since 2005, and seeing him elsewhere would be quite strange. Moreover, he has won three Stanley Cups, which helps in remaining with a team that is no longer a contender.

He will be able to finish his career with a few teammates who were there from the very beginning, such as Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin.
