Crosby changed the fortunes of Pittsburgh for many many years.
It's funny cause you wonder where the Flames would've picked in '05 if it weren't for Darryl's moves in 03/04, specifically the acquisition of Kiprusoff. It would've likely been in lottery territory.
'04 was truly amazing and in a way changed the fortunes of this team by rejuvinating the fanbase. But there's a chance it actually could've also prevented much greater, franchise altering acquisition/s.
Just a funny little thought. Which i'm sure has been passed around here already before.
