Same, that's why most of the time I pick Malkin or Ovechkin just to shake things up (also because I think they really are the best choice). In this case though I picked Crosby cuz he's #1 now and probably still will be 10 years from now. Though I agree that having him as a choice for these "future" polls is kinda pointless. |

Yah, it's pretty much going to be someone who is between the ages of 15 and 25 right at this moment in time! So that narrows it down to about 1000 players/future players! haha! All I am really certain of is that it will not be ME. LOL! |

I think it will be someone who is not in the league yet, like John Tavares (OHL) he is young, but he has size and is still growing, I think he is only 17 (6 ft 185 lbs)
After all tomorrow is another day... |

I'm just kind of sick of all these polls where Crosby is always the #1 answer. Anything having to do with future teams, future talent, MVP, highest scorer, etc. There is no point in asking these anymore because Crosby will ALWAYS rank #1. Please end this charade...
Haha leigh, I don't think Thornton will be the best in 10 years, he'll be 38. Something like this is hard to tell because we don't know of the future picks and how well they'll do. I think Crosby and Ovechkin will be dominating the league for the next 15 years, barring serious injuries. Lombardi should definitely be very good, but he won't be the best. |

I think the idea behind picking Sid was to decide whether Crosby would still be the best 10 years from now or whether someone else would. |

Well Redskins, it is far from a random choice. What's the point of picking Crosby if he's already the best? Isn't that a given? And what insight does that offer to these forums? I realize I'm going out on a limb by saying Lombardi. As Babs said, he is probably the fastest in the league. And as I stated above, his hands have to catch up to his feet and they are starting to. He put a crazy outside/in move on some poor Oiler schmuck last night, so that is evidence of that. Look, he's 24 now, in 7 to 10 years he'll have peaked. Give a kid some time, after all, the poll has asked us to project 10 years into the future, the odds of anyone of us being right is pretty slim. So, I'm happy to entertain you Babs! By the way, who is your choice? Thornton? Wow, you're crazy!!!! (quick...think of someone else so you can disagree with me Babs)
I stand by my choice. Lombardi. |

Oh Leigh, you never fail to amuse me!
As a matter of fact, I was telling my dad this morning that I bet he is the fastest skater in the league. Too bad he gets hurt easily and just does not have the scoring touch that a guy with his speed should.
Having speed is a good start to a skill set, but it's not the be all end all. I have no doubt that he can flourish, but who knows if that will happen. |

I said Crosby, but of course he's already the best now. He'll be 29 in ten years and unless someone comes along who's better than him, he's certainly capable of continuing his streak. Ovechkin would be a close second. |
