Ok /sp/, you're starting a NHL franchise. Who would you rather build it around?

Ovechkin or Crosby?

Does Crosby keep those next to his Calder Trophy?

Crosby? I'd take Nash and/or Young. Would never touch Stills.

If Crosby was the robocop-esque superman you insist he is, he'd be impervious to all injuries in the first place.

Pussy. Bobby Orr practically spent half his NHL career skating on one leg and he still raped the league.

ok, here's how its gonna go. Crosby is gonna retire when he's about 34 or shorter because all he ever does is when he drives the net is fall over and slide into the boards, the kid is gonna fuck up his legs cause he just falls over and slides all the time. He's gonna wrap his leg around the post or wreck it into the boards cause he slids on his knees. Mark my words

Despite being a huge ovechkin fan, Crosby is the only real choice. He'll make 2nd/3rd line wingers into top-line players. The same cannot be said about Ovie.

BUT IT MAKES 4 GREAT TV AND INPROVS THE VISABULITY OF THE LEEGE

Ovie is the obvious choice, because he's a BETTER PLAYER and doesn't play LIKE A FUCKING MORON. That whole sliding around thing is gonna kill him.

Oh...wait...you said CROSBY.

Ovechkin

Crosby is good, but overrated and overhyped.

Ovechkin is the best goal scorer in the league.

Crosby turns players around him into studs. (See: Ryan Malone)

Ovie is gonna score 60 goals a year for the next 10 years.

Crosby is going to -create- over 80 goals a year for the next 10 years.

Crosby speaks english.

Crosby is the correct answer.

As a theoretical owner, I'd rather have Crosby for all the revenues generated from just having him on my team.

Ovechkin was 6th in hits this year.
Crosby was 1st in sliding around on the ice crying.

Crosby's team is stacked, Ovechkin carries the entire franchise on his back

Ovechkin is the better team player, creates more chances, and is better defensively

That's what happens when you suck so long, you get to pick high in the draft every year until you stop sucking.

true, that is one of the stupider things about sports. i think they should do what mike and mike suggested (inb4 shitstorm)
teams that just barely miss the playoffs should be the ones with the first few picks. it should help teams to avoid tanking.

Then the shit teams remain shit teams for long periods of time and eventually cease to be marketable.

are you fucking stupid? crosby "created" over 100 goals last year. Ovechkin "created" over 100 goals this year. A point is a point, whether it's a goal or an assist.
