What happened: Trade speculation around Sidney Crosby has resurfaced, with Connor McDavid's future also returning to the offseason conversation.
Why it matters: Crosby's expiring deal makes his next contract decision a near-term roster question. McDavid's extension runs through 2027-28, giving any potential change a longer runway.
By the numbers: Crosby is entering the final season of a two-year contract. McDavid begins the first season of a two-year, $25 million extension.
What to watch: Watch for Crosby contract talks after the summer and any direct indication that McDavid's plans have changed.
