Pens win Crosby lottery

Yeah it's true Pittsburgh would be a great place for Crosby but not for a longtime because Pittsburgh will kove that's for sure. The city doesn't want to build a new arena so cities like Winnipeg will bid to try to move that team in their cities. And yes pietro006, it would have be so cool if Montreal had win the lottery but what do you want with 2,08% of chances you cannot hope for miracles.
Crosby looked like he had been crying when they interviewed him. No one and i mean NO ONE would want to go to pittsburgh. Shitty team + shitty city, theres nothing to look forward to except playin with mario and even he's already nearing the end. I think he'll go to the habs as soon as he's unrestricted which is will probably be awhile but i could also see him demanding a trade in the future.
Why does everyone seem to think he'll go to the Habs? There's no logical reason for him to go to Montreal over any other team. So he played Jr. in Quebec.. big deal.. tons of the best players in the NHL played Jr. hockey in Quebec and it doesn't mean that they have to play for the Habs.
And I disagree Cheesy. Sidney Crosby would never demand a trade. The kid has class. He's far too mature and smart to be an asshole to ask for a trade. He's nothing like Eric Lindros bud!!

I think Pittsburgh will be good... but not this year. I give them a few years before they will compete for a playoff spot. They have tons of young talent that will mature over the next few years.
And while I think Crosby is amazing, you do have to realize that he's going to be only 18 years old when the season gets underway. I don't think anyone can expect him to do everything for the organization.

Mario's almost done and recchi is getting old. I never said he was going to the habs but i said it woulda been a good fit since it was his childhood dream and the "next gretzky" should play in canada rather than some shit town and city.

He doesn't have to. He plays with Mario Lemieux. MARIO LEMIEUX.
So yes... Crosby will have to take some of the load.. but is he capable??? Only time will tell.
im hopin that he doesnt do well, or if he does that no one in pittsburgh cares and they don build a new arena, and move here to winnipeg. How amazing wud that be, Sidney Crosby on the Winnipeg Jets. But like ShockA and Swollen_Member said, only time will tell. If Pitsburgh gets a new building, say goodbye to Winnipeg's chance to get Crosby
^^^ i aint talkin like wer for sur gunna get one. I understand its not likely, but im jus tryin to be positive, and its a lot more likely now then it was before, because of the salary cap. If Crosby didnt go to Pittsburgh, then they wud be the most likely to be movin to winnipeg, and even now, ther in money troubles. Im jus sayin its a possibility and if it happens it wud be amazing, i never sed that Pittsburgh was movin to winnipeg or that ne one was, i jus sed it was a possibility. Cum on u liv in Winnipeg, u gotta be more enthusiastic. Nuttin wrong wit hopin.
If Pittsberg does well this year then yeah there's a good chance they'll get a new arena I think. And with the new salary cap, it's definetly a lot more viable for owners to have teams in cities like Winnipeg and Hamilton in the future like Saint33 said. Me personaly I'm just really pumped to see how the next season turns out with all these changes.
It's not like I don't want a team here, I'm just being realistic. When we had a team, the salaries in 1996 were a lot lower than they were before the salary cap, and we couldn't afford it then, what makes you think we could afford it now? I'd rather not have a team than have one come here and then just leave again in 5 years because the city can't afford it. Besides, if Pittsburgh did come here, we would probably have to let Crosby go, I imagine his salary will go up in the next couple years and we wouldn't be able to pay it.
