Well, not too much longer and the draft will be upon us, so I thought this would be a good place to discuss it.

Who will get the top pick? I'm thinking the Blue Jackets for some reason... of course most everyone thinks the Rangers since they have the highest chance.

The Rangers have as high a chance as 3 other teams (including CBJ).

I of course am hoping it goes to Detroit, but I don't have much hope. I'd be happy with a top-10 pick, seeing as though we haven't had a 1st rounder in like 5 years.

They are showing it on TSN right now, they have Crosby on the phone, he said he wants Montreal to get him first.

If Leafs don't get Crosby, hopefully the get Jack Johnson .. if not that at least a pick in the top 10, its a very talented group this year.

I hope Montreal gets Crosby, but I'll be happy if they can get some size up front, something they desperately need.

As for who I think will get the #1 pick, I can't say, but I have some odd feeling that none of the teams with 3 balls in the lottery will get #1. But if one of them does, the best place for him to go out of the 4 is easily New York. A market as big as New York would let a guy like Crosby not just make near the $850,000 salary cap for rookies, but millions in endorsement deals. Also, he has an equal chance of ending up in Pittsburgh, who will barely be able to spend above the lower $21.5M limit of the cap. Crosby will flourish anywhere. How noticeable of an impact he makes, will depend where he ends up.

Last place I'd want too see any good player go to is the Rangers, where talent just gets lost, especially for a young skilled player like Crosby, end up being a bum with the Rangers, besides I blame the Rangers for this whole fiasco/strike/lockout for the owners trying to buy the cup and spending money on salaries too turn players into spoiled brats, I hope the NY Rangers suck sh*t !

He'd be much better going to Columbus.

Reverse order is how they're announcing. So far (I'll edit)...

30 - Tampa Bay Lightning

29 - Florida Panthers

28 - Dallas Stars

27 - Colorado Avalanche

26 - Calgary Flames

25 - Edmonton Oilers

24 - St. Louis Blues

23 - New Jersey Devils

22 - Boston Bruins

21 - Toronto Maple Leafs

20 - Philidelphia Flyers

19 - Detroit Red Wings

18 - Nashville Predators

17 - Phoenix Coyotes

16 - New York Rangers

15 - New York Islanders

14 - Washington Capitals

13 - Buffalo Sabres

12 - San Jose Sharks

11 - Los Angeles Kings

10 - Vancouver Canucks

9 - Ottawa Senators

8 - Atlanta Thrashers

7 - Chicago Blackhawks

6 - Columbus Blue Jackets

5 - Montreal Canadians

4 - Minnesota Wild

3 - Carolina Hurricanes

2 - Anahiem

1 - Penguins

Edited by Scorpio

So, so close. Montreal got #5. So, I hope Anaheim, Carolina, and Minnesota skip over Jack Johnson. He'd be the best choice, in order to bolster Montreal's defense. I didn't want to see Pittsburgh get #1, but they had one of the best chances to. At least Toronto's way down in 21st. :D

damn i wanted crosby to be a hab, im so mad!! when i saw canadiens picture in the 5th card, i wanted to die.

It's fine. Crosby's a centre, and Montreal isn't exactly lacking in centres. We have Koivu, Ribeiro, and Bonk. It would've been great to have him, but we need a good defenseman more to be honest.

I wonder if he'll live with Mario and his family. There are no language issues like there was with Marc-Andre Fleury.

Toronto didn't do too badly with their one ball. Calgary and Edmonton had two kicks at the can and it's too bad they didn't do better.

Pardon?  I don't even know if this is directed at me but if so please clarify.  First two on what list?

I was referring to the guy that noted the NY thing... Tampa Bay and Florida were the first two picks announced -- both from Florida, obviously.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
