Penguins' Crosby & Malkin: Staying Together for Another Playoff Push

On March 23, the Pittsburgh Penguins are enjoying a surprising season, sitting second in the Atlantic Division and battling for play-out spots after.

Expectations of a rebuild.

Trading or letting superstars, Sydney Crosby and Evgeny Malcolm go, would be a mistake given the team's position.

Together, Crosby and Malcolm have delivered three Stanley Cups, four Art Ross trophies, three Heart trophies, and three Cons Mith trophies, Building, one of the NHL's greatest duos.

Fans and analysts stress loyalty in an era of frequent trades, noting how the pair rescued the franchise from tough times and deserved to stay on their terms.

General Manager Kyle Dubas has added young talent, holds plenty of cap space, and plans to move defensemen, Eric Carlson's $11.5 million, average annual value for more assets.

With Crosby under contract and Malcolm nearing free agency at $6.1 million this year, the Penguins can retool around these pillars for AT.
