But it appears GM Kyle Dubas looks to put a stop to those rumors, as Crosby doesn't intend to leave Steel City, as far as we can tell.
While the Pittsburgh Penguins have missed the Stanley Cup playoffs in consecutive seasons, and the superstar core continues to age and decline, questions arise about the future of the Penguins.
There have been suggestions that Sidney Crosby could leave the Penguins for greener pastures, but not according to Rob Rossi of The Athletic.
Crosby's superstardom is defined by leading the Penguins to three Stanley cups, and considered by many to be a top-10 player in the NHL.
It would be tough for many Penguins fans to see him wearing another crest, but for now, all we can do is speculate, and wait until a deal is done. There appears to be confidence from Crosby's camp that a deal will be finished soon, and GM Kyle Dubas would undoubtedly like this burden off his shoulders.
