Is Sidney Crosby going to stay with the Penguins?
It's going to be one of the biggest questions surrounding the Penguins in the upcoming months.
Longtime captain and future Hall of Famer Sidney Crosby has found himself on the trade block with rumours of potentially being dealt, considering their low chances of competing for a playoff spot.
At 38, Crosby's career is going to begin winding down before long, and he'd love the chance to compete for a Stanley Cup one more time before retiring. It won't happen with the Penguins, so would he eventually ask for a trade?
