What if Pittsburgh drafted Corey Perry in 2003?

[Flaming Satan]

Hypotheticly speaking, what kind of points or what kind of player would Perry be if he was drafted by the Penguins? Would he become the next Jari Kurri and pump goals at break-neck pace with Crosby or Malkin? Perrenial Art Ross/Rocket Richard candidate each year?

Leaves as a free agent.

But really, if anything, it would be pretty obvious who gave Crosby the mumps.

Their goaltending would have remained terrible, and they may not have won a cup.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

A vaccine for Ebola would have been developed by now.

Yeah, probably this.

That aside, I would have loved to see prime Perry and prime Crosby play 82 times a year. It would have been pretty ridiculous.
Still would be now, actually.

 

[The Macho King]

They wouldn't have gotten the past ten years of quality goaltending.

...



Sorry, I couldn't hold it in.

 

[illpucks]

Would have be traded with ++ for Mike Comrie

What if Pittsburgh drafted Toews instead of Staal in 06.. (or Backstrom/Kessel)

What if the Kings drafted him? They had the pick right before us.

edit: TWO picks right before us. Brian Boyle and Tambellini...

What if LA drafted Perry instead of Brian Boyle and Jeff Tambellini who were pick right before him? LA screwed up that draft so bad, they were lucky Brown turned out to be a good pick.

 

[spacemunky]

Leafs would have won the Cup.

He has a phenomenal linemate as is, so I'm not sure there'd be that much improvement in his numbers going away from Getzlaf, especially factoring injuries.

 

[Hynh]

What if the Oilers took Getzlaf at 17 (instead of trading it to take Marc-Andre Pouliot and Jean-Francois Jacques), completed the Comrie for Perry trade and still managed to get Pronger?

 

[TT1]

What if Montreal took Claude Giroux instead of David ****ing Fischer?

Would pronger still have been boo'd?

 

[Mickey Marner]

I doubt Perry would score more. When you're a star player your points see less of an increase from superior linemates than weaker players would with the same linemates. Also, I doubt he has better chemistry with Crosby than he does with Getzlaf.

What do you think?

sure, playing with ryan getzlaf is such a terrible way to spend a career.....good grief, the difference in production would be minimal at best

 

[HanSolo]

My issue with questions like this is who knows how much different the players would be if developed by that other team. If they'd respond to the system.

But odds are yeah. He scores 40 goals roughly on Getzlaf's wing. Might be 50 with Crosby generally. Bit less.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Sebastian Caron would be their franchise goalie.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Their goaltending would have remained terrible, and they may not have won a cup.

Still is terrible

LA could've had 4 cups.
Jesus freaking Christ.

 

[mightyquack]

Well, he'd be playing in the easier conference for starters. 50 goals minimum every season

When ever he did anything dirty /cheap kings fans would claim he's just a bad skater :v

 

[Soundwave]

What if the Pens had taken Toews over Staal is interesting too.

 

[Catamo]

What if Anaheim won the draft Lottery in 2005 and got Crosby at #1 instead of Bobby Ryan at #2.
