Yeah....because Pittsburgh didn't tank for a few years and get a bunch of top picks.
Or gets traded for Rastislav fucking Olesz?

I hope Calgary pulls a repeat of this in their first interview with Wideman:

i just wanna save my nhl-gaf boys from getting into any trouble, based on discussion in the euro12 thread, cunt is apparently not a word we're allowed to use on gaf.
so i take back what i said about schultz's behavior being cunty.

The rules here are shaky. Certain images get you banned if you post it in one thread but not the other.
Hmm, let's compare.
Pens' "tank" picks...
2002 - Ryan Whitney (#5)
2003 - Marc-Andre Fleury (#1)
2004 - Evgeni Malkin (#2)
2005 - Sidney Crosby (#1)
2006 - Jordan Staal (#2)
You can probably take Whitney off this list too.
Oilers' "tank" picks...
2009 - Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson (#10)
2010 - Taylor Hall (#1)
2011 - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (#1)
2012 - Nail Yakupov (#1)
They also got...
2007 - Sam Gagner (#6)
2008 - Jordan Eberle (#22)
Looks pretty even, I guess.
Funny thing about the 2003 draft when the Pens chose Fleury? They could've had Eric Staal, Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, Corey Perry, or Mike Richards instead. Hindsight is 20/20. Heh. Hard to be too mad with Fleury helping the Pens to a Cup in 2009.

So what you're saying is Tom Renney is Eddie Olczyk and the Oilers are gonna win the cup in a few year?

I'm a pens fan and I'm not even sure what Alucard is trying to prove with that list.

Don't make bust out the Florida draft picks. It will make the Pens look like they drafted the entire all-star team.

Detroit has a ton of cap and just lost Lidstrom, Suter will get paid!!!
on a reasonable 8 mil retirement deal or for a little less, also it probably isn't all about the money unlike Hudler

It would probably be more even had the Panthers not traded their first overall three times (Lecavalier, Nash, Fleury). How different things would have been.
wasn't tryin to say its all about the money. but if the preds are already offering him 7-7.5, the negotiations tomorrow will start there.. one can only assume they'll go up from there with 4+ teams competing

So flyers are trying to trade for Nash now supposedly. :lol :lol I hope they do so bad, it won't make them any better and probably make them a little worse.

Truthfully, I think it is between Detroit and Nashville at this point, and I know both GM's will push hard, Holland maybe a little more so considering we lost Lids and you guys still have Weber for at least another year.
Or that he wants to play top pair minutes. They're deep but young on D, especially if they can get Sauer back. Still need a RH shot on the point for PP.

Dennis Wideman is happy with that tax rate.
wow, thanks for posting.
He also said he was excited to play for Anaheim.....

:lol You want so bad for that to be true.
To be safe I tend to only use that word on British forums.
Why would you take the Pens #5 pick off when you include the Oilers #10 overall? That list makes Pitt look a lot worse than Edmonton. :lol

You don't know how hard I am going to rage if we don't get Suter.
I expect video footage.
Could have had Jeff Carter, too. Don't forget he was actually drafted 13 spots higher than Richards. Almost every team in the league passed on Richards.
Ah fuck, I didn't realize the Flyers could have got Parise instead of Carter with the 11th pick that year. I was happier not knowing that fact.
I was confused too, glad it's over. My god the Oilers should improve somewhat with all that talent.
also, holy crap at those tax cuts for some markets.
I think Quick going 72nd in his draft year and being passed on by every team at least twice was probably a more relevant factor. Goalies are almost always hard to predict, though.
Haha, they took that piece of shit Downie in the first round that year. I gotta stop looking at old drafts.

October 19th is all that matters.
No, but they might file tampon charges for Heretic and Dastardly.

That's a little too much for Guastad.
