They were but their overall chance of winning was still pretty low - less than 20%.
It just seemed to be very convenient because at the time the franchise was in serious trouble and Bettman was doing everything he could to save it - then they just happen to get the next great generational player.
I don't think it was rigged, but I wouldn't be all that shocked if it turned out it was. Crosby to the Pens worked out very well for the league.
