wheateater Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Don't count out Columbus; imagine the line of Nash on the left, Crosby at centre and Zherdev on the right! They would tear up the NHL in a few years. Who the hell is Nikolai Zherdev?!? You wanna see a real line? A scary-as-hell line? How 'bout this:Sidney Crosby - Dany Heatley - Ilya KovalchukThat, I tell ya, would make any goaltender crap his pants for many, many years.That being said, I would love to see him in a Kings uni. He attended the team's rookie camp as an invitee in the fall and I think LA could make a star outta him, all real nice-like. However, I bet you any amount of money that a team with just one ball in the hopper wins the lottery. So what if your odds are 1-in-16 or 1-in 24? Those odds still suck, and I wouldn't be surprised to see one team's ball pop out.

black_gold_capone Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Pittsburgh needs him and even if the team doesn't stay hopefully we get him so he can play with the Winnepeg PenguinsI'm from Pittsburgh and I do not want the team to move but God forbid it goes to a place like Kansas City or even somewhere like Alabama.....Either stay in Pittsburgh or move to Canada Now that we have the one for the thumb, the other hand looks lonely........GO STEELERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I think you would have one of the best young exciting teams in the league which is what the league needs. ...But that is from my unbiased opinion. Hmmm... New Jersey Devils, an exciting team??I find hard to believe that a team that put so much emphasis on defense can be called exciting. Sorry to burst your bubble but when the Devils are on TV, I change the channel because they are so boring to watch...No offense though, they would really have a great young team on paper, that's for sure. Yes, but with Crosby and the other young players they wouldn't be all about defense they would have an exciting offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryguy3285 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 here is what i think needs to happen..........TB needs to trade Cory Stillman to Columbus and Dallas need to trade Scott Young to Columbus and move him back to defense...........and move stillman back too while we are at it........the the penalty kill would be known as Crosby, Stills, Nash and YoungSidenote (I am now banning myself from this board for that horrible joke)On a more Serious Note I got three words for ya: Crosby, Gaborik, Bouchard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcan'tseeme Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 3 balls in the lottery: Rangers, Penguins, Sabres, and Jackets--6.25% chance each2 balls: Ducks, Thrashers, Flames, Canes, Hawks, Oilers, KINGS, Wild, Preds, Yotes--4.17% chance eachThe 16 others have 1 ball each and a 2.08% chance to get the first pick.Just FYI That may be true in the draft lottery but come playoff time it seems there are teams with no balls *cough*Toronto*cough* why does everyone hae Toronto?

CZzyzx41 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Crosby - Conroy - IginlaI think inserting Crosby into anyone's line makes them look pretty good. That is, if Crosby turns out as good as he's been scouted to be. He seems a little small. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Puckguy14 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 From what I hear, any team would benefit.But I will be stunned if he does not end up on the Rangers. The NHL knows their marketing problems right now. They pretty much have to get him in New York. I doubt the lottery will be fixed. Every owner wants Crosby, if the Bettman fixed the lottery and it leaked out he would have 29 angry owners at him and he is already on thin ice. With Bettman, where there's a will there's a way. I just know there's something up with the Rangers getting him. Buffalo could certainly use him as they were in financial trouble almost as much as Pittsburgh was (granted Buffalo has a newer arena.) Columbus? I doubt it. Although picture Rick Nash and Crosby on the same line with Todd Marchant? OMG, we wouldn't laugh about the blue bugs that much longer. Pittsburgh, is hoping for him to be their savior. Although the NHL desperately needing a marquee name and player, and a place from him to be such that person. And as much as I blame the Rangers for this mess, I can't stress how much they can help (or hinder) the progress of the league on this lottery. Of course, I'd love for that 4.16666666666666667% chance for that #1 overall pick to be for the San Jose Sharks. Sturm-Marleau-Crosby? Oh wow, talk about a young, speedy line that will take advantage of the no two-line pass rule. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Crosby will end up in one of three places: Toronto (Canada's major market), New York (To revitalize the Rangers), or Phoenix (The next "Great One" playing for the "Great One's" team).

You don't need him in Toronto, at least for the health of the league's sake. New York would be a much better place for him and the NHL to get the exposure it's going to need. Phoenix is a little too off the radar to capture national (read: US) attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
