The Penguins had 5 consecutive top-5 picks which they used to select
Crosby
Malkin
Fleury
Staal
Orpik
Which goes to show a) It takes more than one HOFer to build a winning team b) Sometimes all you get is an average NHLer
Meanwhile, watching the last few games, we suck so bad in our own end. You remember those highlight packages they used to show of inept NFL teams in the 90s? You know the ones, where they had Tampa Bay players in the peach uniforms fumbling the ball all over the place and unable to pull off the simplest plays? Yeah, that's what we look right now. Our D corps is a complete car crash. Jensen seems to have the skill of being a second late on absolutely everything.
Orpik was drafted 18th overall. About the expected return there. You're probably thinking of Ryan Whitney, who was pretty good but had some flukey injury problems.
