The rumors originate from Steve Dangle. Here's what he had to say:
Although he will become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2025, Crosby has played his entire career in Pittsburgh, and the organization is doing everything possible for the core of the last 15 years to win together again.
Indeed, Evgeni Malkin is signed until 2026, and Kris Letang until 2028. Not to mention the acquisition of Erik Karlsson last summer.
With three Stanley Cups to his name, an extraordinary career, and his name forever etched in sports history, Crosby doesn't need to go elsewhere to win. I don't believe a word of it, and for me, he will finish his career in Pittsburgh, even if it means the last years will be more challenging.
However, it must be admitted that it would be special to see him in a Canadiens jersey or alongside Nathan MacKinnon!
