Sidney Crosby: Contract Extension Talks

Sidney Crosby refuses to fade away.
Even at 39, he continues to provide invaluable service to the Penguins, racking up at least one point per game.
He's still so good that the Penguins don't want to trade him or let him hit the free-agent market. Both sides are reportedly in talks right now regarding a contract extension.But for how long? https://t.co/kvCynOVPVo

Everything points to Kirill Marchenko being on the trading block in Columbus.

Last week, Habs fans were riled up when a video was posted showing Kaiden Guhle skating in his sweatpants, while all the other Habs defensemen were skating together in full gear.
For the next two days, Guhle didn't skate, and then on Friday, everyone—media and fans alike—was denied access to the arena.
Clearly, seeing a news story about Kaiden Guhle break like this in the middle of summer didn't sit well with some people within the Canadiens organization. That, and the fact that some

Something's going on with Kirill Marchenko in Columbus right now.
We know the player has been at the center of several rumors… and the fact that he didn't show up for his team's golf tournament yesterday has only added fuel to the fire.

The final game of the 2026 season took place last Sunday in the Frontière League. The Trois-Rivières Eagles happily ended their season on a high note by sweeping their final home series.
The organization also took advantage of the occasion to recognize players who stood out in various categories. The Rookie of the Year award went to Taeg Gollert, who joined the team midseason after a successful stint in the NCAA. The community involvement of Emmanuel Tapia and Charles Lefebvre was

As you may have seen, Chris Kreider will be a free agent. He'll have the chance to sign a contract as a free agent in the coming days.
So the question is: Would he want to come to Montreal?
And would the Montreal team—which is completely different from the one in 2014—be willing to sign the player who injured Carey Price during the infamous 2014 playoffs?
Kreider (22 goals and 50 points in 75 games last season in Anaheim) wants to return to the East. And naturally, we suspect he'd li

Big news.
We were wondering how the Ducks were going to resolve their salary cap issues, which were caused by Leo Carlsson and (the demands of) Cutter Gauthier.
Well, Elliotte Friedman has just given us the answer.
In an article on the Sportsnet website (welcome back, my friend), the insider reported that the Ducks and the player had agreed to terminate his contract.
This won't be a buyout since the player agreed to it. Instead, it will be the end of the contract, which will make the player a fr

Just because Josh Donaldson isn’t playing anymore doesn’t mean he can’t continue to make headlines in the world of baseball.
For example?
Recently, on his podcast (Get It Done League), he accused Jomboy—who has Aaron Boone as a guest on his podcast once a week—of dictating the Yankees' lineup.
He gave examples from the past of players who were benched after Jomboy spoke with Boone. He added that in a locker room, that doesn't go over well.

The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced its Players of the Week on Wednesday, honoring three athletes who played a key role in their teams' victories.
Tyrice Beverette of the Montreal Alouettes, along with Dhel Duncan-Busby and Trevor Harris of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, were each recognized for their outstanding performances.
For Saskatchewan, veteran quarterback Trevor Harris delivered a particularly strong performance in the team's dramatic 32-26 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Blu

In 2025, the five players at the center of the 2018 Team Canada Junior scandal were acquitted following a trial that, as you know, received a great deal of media attention.
They were subsequently cleared to return to the NHL.
Carter Hart was the only one to do so in 2025–2026, and he led the Golden Knights to within a few games of a Stanley Cup. That, too, caused quite a stir during the playoffs.
Finding him a team hadn't been easy. Returning to Philly wasn't an option. The idea of him sig

Since “billionaires suck” is a theme at the movies, I guess it’s a theme on the site today too. Because it’s a theme in real life – all around us billionaires and their billionaire decisions have had an impact on our communities, how we live and how we work. And pop culture has always been a reflection of humanity, in this case how the inhumane are actively destroying it. On the off chance you think this is hyperbolic, catch up on the Jacob Coxon story that broke ye

In his second game of the season, Alexander Zharovsky recorded two assists.

The Boston Red Sox had a spectacular run earlier this season, which has put them comfortably in playoff contention.
All of this has been achieved without their ace pitcher, Garrett Crochet, who has missed the vast majority of the 2026 season. Captain Crochet has been sidelined since late April due to inflammation in his left shoulder.
It appears, however, that the Red Sox's left-hander could be back in time for the postseason—but in a relief role—without having pitched in the regular

Just yesterday I mentioned Luca Gudagnino’s upcoming film Artificial, about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and lo, we have a teaser. This film is apparently critical of Altman, and coming from Guadagnino, a director who likes to push buttons, and writer Simon Rich, who finds the sublime in the ridiculous, I can easily see Artificial being a Social Network-style harpooning of a tech titan (who can’t take criticism).
The teaser, however, is not leaning into subversion so much as classic presti

I don’t know if you’re watching the series “The Rebuild” on Crave.
If so, you may have noticed that Jeff Gorton is taking center stage. And I don't mean that in a negative way—after all, he is still the club's president of hockey operations.
It's nothing against Kent Hughes either, but Gorton simply stands out more.
In Episode #3, which aired yesterday, we see Jeff Gorton expressing his dissatisfaction with Canadiens fans leaving the Bell Centre before the end of a

Aaron Rodgers didn't return to the NFL simply to extend an already exceptional career.
In Pittsburgh, the

has a much bigger goal: to win a second Super Bowl title before hanging up his cleats for good.
As he heads into his 22nd season in the league, Rodgers still seems driven by a desire to win. After joining the Steelers this spring, the four-time MVP quickly expressed his confidence in

A few months ago, Kent Hughes said he believed that young Oliver Kapanen had what it takes to compete to be the team's second-line center in the future.
I don't know about you, but I never really believed it.
In reality, I mostly saw a GM who wanted to boost his player's confidence while things were going well for the young man at that point in his rookie season. And that's perfectly fine.
Since then? Kapanen has inevitably slowed down and has been benched in the playoffs more often than not.

It's a good thing Kazuma Okamoto is on the Blue Jays this season. We can all agree on that.
Without him, the offense would have been even less dynamic this season.
