That being said, Crosby is no Pat Falloon. I think he'll do well. I don't expect him to be a Jagr or Lemieux, but he'll have a successful career. Will he stay in Pittsburgh all his life. With the new CBA, I doubt it.

I believe the "sure thing" in that year's draft was not Falloon, but Eric Lindros - who was no Lemieux, but was a rpetty good player, aside from having eggshell for a melon.
