He might not be ranked that high unless you think he can score 90 points.

No. Is he a first round draft choice? Possibly. Depending on where all these free agents sign, you could see some guys move up and down the ladder.

I still think you will see proven commodities go ahead of Crosby- like Iggy, Martin St Louis, Marcus Naslund, et all.

I think he'll go in the 1st round in most drafts. I personally think thats too high, but I bet there will be at least one owner in most leagues who will disagree with that and go for it. If you really want him, you'll probably have to use your 1st rounder...

He'll go in most first rounds because of the media attention, but I'd peg him somewhere in the 2nd/3rd rounds.

After all, didn't the hockey media expect huge things from a guy named Jason Spezza?

I think Crosby will end up being better than Spezza, but it's a bit early to draft him as being the next Gretzky or Lemieux. Plus, with the rule changes, 90 points might not be as big a deal as it was (last) last year in the NHL.

I'd pick spezza before crosby this year. the ahl last year will help him a lot I believe. I still think crosby will go late 1 or round 2 in a lot of drafts though.

let someone take the chance. not me

If it is a long term keeper league, then he might go first. Otherwise, no.
