Sidney Crosby is one of the greatest players in hockey history and, even at 37 years old, number 87 remains one of the best players in the NHL. On social media, a video of Crosby in a Los Angeles Kings uniform is generating a lot of reactions from users, and one specific detail is drawing attention.
Sidney Crosby's name is making waves in the National Hockey League, and fans are wondering whether the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins could be traded before the end of his career.
One thing is certain: his teammate and close friend, Evgeni Malkin, will be playing his final season with the organization in 2025-26. His departure is likely to be very difficult for several players, including his longtime companions Sidney Crosby and Kristopher Letang.
In 2024-25, the Penguins finished 24th in the NHL with a record of 34-36-12 for a total of 80 points. Last April, the team confirmed that Mike Sullivan would not be returning behind the bench, and Dan Muse was named the new head coach on June 4.
The recent failures in Pittsburgh have now sparked numerous trade rumors, and several players-including Kristopher Letang, Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell, Kevin Hayes, Erik Karlsson, and even Malkin and Crosby-are involved.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the captain's contract will expire at the end of the 2026-27 season, while Malkin's and Hayes' deals will conclude next summer.
A video of Sidney Crosby in a Los Angeles Kings uniform is causing a stir
Since childhood, Sidney Crosby was already seen as a hockey phenomenon, and the spotlight quickly turned toward him.
Even before joining the Rimouski Océanic in the QMJHL, number 87 was unanimously projected as the first overall pick in the 2005 NHL Draft.
At just 16 years old, Crosby was invited to the Los Angeles Kings' development camp, and a video from that time has recently resurfaced on social media.
Of course, it's quite odd to see him wearing a Kings jersey, but it's especially one specific detail that's capturing people's attention: the teenager completely dominates the older players, and his power on skates is simply phenomenal!
His puck control, combining power and speed, is highly impressive, and the other players are simply unable to stop him. Watching the footage, one viewer even commented that, in their opinion, 16-year-old Sidney Crosby was better than Connor Bedard is today at 20 years old.
What a phenomenon!
