I am cheering against pittsburgh until the playoffs. If the pick is in the 20-24 range then I will cheer for a second round exit. 25-30 then I am cheering for Iggy.

My bigger problem is I really don't like the Penguins. Mainly because they are held up as a model for the perfect rebuild when really they got lucky. You relpace Malkin and Crosby with Hall and Hopkins and they are barely a playoff team. You can't consistantly rebuild by tanking and winning the draft lottery. It bugs me that their success is tied to a planned tank job when it wasn't.

I also didn't like Crosby early in is career when he was whiny. He is a lot better now. I would have much perferred to cheer to Boston.
