a lot of rumours about the possibility of seeing the Pittsburgh Penguins' captain signing with another team. All season long, there's been His contract will come to an end after the season and with all that's been happening in the organization in the last year, this new incident could be what pushes him to join another team.
For the Penguins, all games are curucial, at this point of the season. Their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are next to nothing, and unfortunately, things aren't going their way on the ice.
However, last Tuesday night, they earned key victory against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Unfortunately, an incident on the bench took the attention away from the win.
In the game, when he was returning to the bench, Sidney Crosby got into a small altercation with Mike Sullivan, which seem to have disappointed the team captain.
Here's a video of what went down between Crosby and Sullivan:
Despite that win, the Penguins' chances of reaching the playoffs are getting thin.
As of now, they're 7th in their division, and last night, both the Hurricanes and the Rangers clinched their tickets.
For the first time in his career, Crosby could miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
With Crosby set to become a free agent on July 1st, there's a lot of debate as to what will happen to him.
Even if he mentionned that he wants to stay with the Penguins, if he doesn't like the direction that management takes, nothing says he couldn't change his mind.
There's no doubt that Kyle Dubas will do everything he can to keep him, but many teams could also show interest. If a top contender makes him an offer, he could be tempted.
This situation will be interesting to follow closely in the coming months, and we will keep you updated on any new development that emerges.
