I believe they had the worst record that year. What if they picked first and selected Ovechkin. Would they still have 3 cups, more, less? Would Ovechkin have been even more prolific on Crosby's wing?
Edit: Since some people reminded me that 1st overall picks was a criterion for how many balls you got in the lottery and therefore the Pens might have not gotten Crosby then, maybe a better question is what if the Caps took Malkin 1st overall instead of Ovechkin.
