Hey Jas, in one NHL thread we had talked about where the worst and best places for Crosby to go to. I was wondering what you thought were the worst and best places for him
In other news.. Crosby signed an endorsement deal with Gatorade.
Crosby has signed tons of endorsment deals already. He's a millionaire before he even got signed to a team.
Top 5 best teams:
Tampa Bay Lightning: Enough said. Just imagine St. Louis, Lecavailler and Crosby one the same line. Now that is one scary thing for all goaltenders in the league.
Vancouver Canucks: Also enough said. There are tons of players that Crosby could play with. Naslund, Bertuzzi, Morrison, the list goes on. I personelly would really like to see Crosby in either T-Bay or Vancouver just because they offer him so much, just like Gretzky got in Edmonton when he started.
Colorado Avalanche: Sakic and Crosby. A goaltenders worst nightmare by far. He could also pull this team up from their past few lacking seasons.
Nashville Predators: Unlike the three mentioned above, this team doesn't have any immediate talent. They have however shown some of the best scouting in the league, picking up players like Tootoo, Upshall, Weber, the list goes on and on. If Crosby is looking to have an amazing future instead of a quick burst into the league, this is where he should most likely go.
Ottawa Senators: They may look like a dormant team, but their General Manager is making small moves here and there and making his team to be amazing. The biggest most largest impact on his team so far would have to be them about to sign Hasek. I mentioned that above and my reasoning.
Top 5 worst teams:
Washington Capitals: Enough said, worst team in the league and they traded all their future and current players away.
Detroit Red Wings: The team traded all their future for mass ammounts of all-stars just to win a few Stanley Cups. Now players like Steve Yzerman and Chris Chelios are breaking apart at a rapid pace.
New York Rangers: Same story as Detroit, except it worked for Detroit, I didn't see any cup victories when they got Pavel Bure and Eric Lindros.
New Jersey Devils: Too defensive for Crosby. He wouldn't mix well with the players New Jersey picks up. It's not because I think New Jersey is a horrible team, which they aren't. Just Crosby playing on the most defensive team in the league would not mix well.
As for a fifth team. It's sort of a tie between New York Islanders, Buffalo, Atlanta, Florida, Columbus, Minnesota, Anaheim, Phoenix and Dallas.
The rest of the teams are sort of middle men. They wouldn't be the best picks for Crosby, but they would be better than the worst teams mentioned.
