Two years 🥺🥺🥺
The day is finally here.
Treasure these last few years folks.
OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN
I’ll take it, sign as many short extensions as you need to, captain
captain is going down with the ship
Incredible value, very sad term.
Going the McCutuchen route at the end
Of course that’s the AAV
24-25, 25-26, 26-27. Just three more years : (
Cherish these last few seasons, everyone.
No pay increase is kind of crazy for his level of production, very good value for that contract.
This extension takes him until age 40.
Honestly the perfect time to retire if this is his final deal
Cherish these last 3 years Folks
Not that surprising but still respect to him for taking $8.7 million again. He could have asked for, deserves, and could have gotten quite a raise.
Let’s enjoy these guys’ swan song.
As happy as I am to see this get done, it really just hammers home the fact that the ride is almost over, and what a ride it’s been.
Today is a great day
Sid is still taking less money than he deserves in an attempt to rebuild a better team around him in his final years
Has there ever been a more unselfish leader and team player in all of sports? We genuinely don’t deserve him. I’m so happy he’s going to be a Penguin for life
Hooray
But I heard he was gonna be a Maple Leaf, Islander, Ranger, Hab, Av, and Oiler! At the same time! Are you saying the Hockey media… Didn’t actually have the « inside scoop?! »
I find it absolutely hilarious that EVERYTHING with him links up with 87.
Being born on 8/7/87 has really set up his superstitions.
Perfect solution, this will either be his last contact or he will extent with additional short 1-2 year contacts. This way they Pens will not be stuck with a bad contact.
Just shows how much respect Sid and the organisation have for each other. Sid could have easily asked for anything and Dubas would have made it possible without anyone beeing mad at Sid.
He did just say he wants to play hockey “as long as he can”, so I hope this isn’t his last contract, but even if it is I’m so happy we have had Sid for so long.
One of the few guys to understand not everything is about money. We love you Sid…
God, these next 2 years are going to be something special.
8.7m is still a steal for him all these years later.
Good. Hopefully enough time to mentor the next captain.
My brother. My captain. My king.
I hope the comments gets turned off at 87. Just because
Be sure to tune into TSN later to hear why this means he’ll be requesting a trade to Montreal soon.
God Bless Sid’s superstitions.
I have no doubt that after these 3 years if he wants to re-sign for another year or two, he will. Pen for life. I’m so happy.
I literally yelled across the house to my wife haha
So happy to see this deal. 2 years is perfect, it allows Sid to continue playing at a high level as he has said he wants to do many times. If he feels he has more in the tank afterwards, he can do another short contract. Great deal, so damn happy to have him for three more years.
Cherish these years everyone, we get to watch one of the best players in league history play for at least 22 years for us!
DADDY DADDY DADDY 😍
Sid set’s the culture from the top, leads by example
Won 3 cups and still takes a team friendly discount, because he wants to win a 4th, those clowns in Edmonton haven’t got a pot to piss in, they haven’t won a damn thing in this league and they’re all taking 14, 15, 16 million, see the difference
What a legend
