Ovechkin Capitals
What if Ovechkin was on the Penguins and Crosby was on the Capitals?
IF this actually happened...
1) Would the Penguins have gone to the Stanley Cup this year?
2) How much better/worse would the Penguins be?
3) What trades/signings/coach switches would not have been made?
4) How well would Malkin and Ovechkin work together?
5) Who would have been Rookie of the Year that year?
Yes, I am very aware nobody here is a fortune teller. But you guys are smart, use your best judgement
Considering the Penguins got cheated out of the top pick in 2004, a better question would be what if Ovechkin was on the Penguins and Malkin was on the Capitals. But anyways... if Ovechkin and Crosby switched places?
1) Yes. It's funny how a lot of Pittsburgh fans now complain about Malkin's performance during the final series with the Wings, some going so far as to say the Pens should trade Malkin. Did they forget how well he performed during the first three series? How about when Crosby got injured during the regular season? I think with Malkin, the Pens would have gone to the Stanley Cup regardless of whether Crosby OR Ovechkin was on their team.
2) Two different players, so it's hard to say. Crosby gets compared to Gretzky, but I think Ovechkin is more like The Great One. Crosby is more like... well, Lemieux (hard to believe, right?). To avoid sounding too arrogant (if it's not too late for that), I'll just say no better, no worse.
3) None. Okay, maybe some. I just don't feel like speculating about that right now.
4) Again, it's hard to say. Despite some fans claiming there is little chemistry between Malkin and Crosby, at least relative to their abilities, they work quite well together. Unfortuntely we usually only see it on the power play. Malkin and Ovechkin would likely be on the same line, and considering they were once young teammates in Russia, I can only assume it would be a good pairing. Just make sure their egos don't get the best of them.
5) Whichever let their ego get the best of them.
