Yeah I know that Crosby has signed many deals already, but this one was just annouced from what I heard.

Yah it was. I was just saying he's already done tons of commercials, everyone wants a peice of Crosby. But they did the same thing with Lindros and Kariya. Look where they ended up however. Kariya's wrists are so fragile that a simple sound and they snap. Lindros's head is still spinning from that Scott Steven's hit he recieved. Crosby may end up just like them with a short lived career, so I wouldn't get too attached if I were you guys.

What about you, do you agree with the teams I listed or is there some changes you would have made?
     
Well some places that I think Crosby would do well in would be Nashville, Carolina, and Chicago. Worse places that I think he would not do well in would be Detroit or Florida (I think their management and ownership isn't the best).

Carolina I feel is falling apart even though they've only been around a short while. They have no lines what so ever and every season they are sent scrambling to pick up the peices. Chicago I put in the middle due to they have no immediate talent, but they did pick up quite a few talented players in the draft. Brett McLean is definetly going to make some type of impact I feel. He sure did in Kelowna when he played for the Kelowna Rockets. His rookie season he was one of the leading goal scorers in Chicago. xd Nashville like I said is a good team, they picked up tons of talent lately.

As for you Eyes, I also am leaning towards Vanilla Ice.
 
     
 
Why would Atlanta be bad? They've got great offensive talent... if they picked him up and then worked on their defensive woes with trades and such, I think they could be a force in the next few years.
     
Do u no who my favorite team is New Jersey Devils!!

Yea, Atlanta could be a contender in the playoffs as long as Dany Heatley and Ilya Kovalchuk stay healthy be useful for their team, even though I'm a Canucks' fan xp

I could see Heatley-Crosby-Kovalchuck and I think that would be a scoring threat.

Not right now they wouldn't... no defense, and no goalie. I don't think their GM realizes that hockey involves keeping the puck out of their own net too.

Atlanta is much like Carolina (except Atlanta is better off xd ) both teams need to get their prioritys straight. Atlanta wouldn't be good. Heatley is no Sakic, and he isn't small and speedy like them. Sure he has speed and agility. But he's no where close to what Crosby and Sakic are. Heatley is a bit more like Naslund, they both have the wheels but Heatley just isn't good chemistry for Crosby. Naslund and Bertuzzi however are. They proved that to me during the All star game with Sakic. 5 goals later I feel Crosby would fit perfectly in the Canucks first line. Same story in T-Bay and Colorado. Those are the 3 teams I'm hoping to see him pop up on. I just want him to have a good chance at making history. I don't want to see him rot in Washington or Detroit or somewhere like that.. sweatdrop

Forget Kovalchuk, Heatley and Crosby. That isn't scary. Kovalchuk is pff..

Crosby - Naslund - Bertuzzi
Crosby - Sakic - Forsberg
Lecavailler - Crosby - St. Louis

Personelly as a goalie I would fear those 3 lines alot more than the Atlanta line.

Ta da. You just answered your question to why Atlanta would be bad for Crosby. He needs a good defence to force that puck up to him. Those teams I named have that. (excluding New Jersey, but they have no skilled wingers for him to play with)

As much as I wish that could happen, I doubt it ever will. Atlanta needs a lot of good...everything. I wish they stayed as the atlanta flames instead of moving to calgary stressed
