Inks two-year extension Crosby agreed to terms on a two-year, $17.4 million contract extension with Pittsburgh on Monday. Impact After years of costing the Penguins just $8.7 million AAV, he's currently in the 12th year of the deal he signed back in June of 2012, there was plenty of speculation that Crosby might cost the team significantly more on his next deal. Instead, the notoriously superstitious Crosby opted to continue matching his cap hit with his iconic No. 87 for another two more years. After reaching the 90-point threshold each of the past two seasons, Crosby's deal represents a significant discount that should provide the Pens with plenty of cap flexibility into the future.
