NHL Season 07/08: Sidney Gretzky or Wayne Crosby?

So, with the new season approaching and training/rookie camps getting underway, let's get excited about the new season.
The NW division looks as deep as hell this off-season, so no, I don't think that the Pacific is suddenly the place where it's at. Roenick should be an interesting addition to SJ though.
Also, considering how the Summit Series went, do the players who excelled prove that the this year's draft wasn't so weak as people though OR were the Russians that bad?

I am supporting the Atlanta Thrashers, not the Nashville Predators, the Thrashers still have most of their important players and I'm hoping they have a good season and better playoff performance this year.
Roenick will be interesting in a "will he shut the hell up and not be a cancer in the room" sort of way. He really probably should have stuck with the decision to stay retired. He's probably just chasing that 500 goal mark he's close to.
The Super Series has mainly proven that Russia doesn't produce anything besides forwards these days. Their defense and goaltending prospects are simply not NHL calibre.
Also every team is wearing the new RBK Edge jersey technology from the Allstar Game this year. Many have new designs, though old classics like the Rangers, Red Wings and Habs are unchanged.
This is a good site with a breakdown of all the changes made by a poster at the Sportslogos.net forum: The NHL in 2007-08
And Crosby sucks.
Erm... You must use a different definition of the word "sucks" than the rest of us. He basically single-handedly took the Penguins from being consistently the worst team in the league back into being in the playoffs. Not only that, but he snagged the most points of any player.
As for me, rooting for the Canucks as usual, though honestly I'm not expecting much more than last season. All they really have going for them is Luongo. Naslund is, imho, pretty much washed up and I don't see the Sedins getting a whole lot better at this point (Though they are pretty good right now).
As for actual prospects, I wonder if any of the other Canadian teams can put it altogether this year and get past those near-cupgrabbing collapses of the few recent seasons. Probably will stick with Ottawa again unless any of the others shows to be having an amazing year.

"We lost a full season of hockey to end up with the same bullshit as before" :?:
I assume you're talking about the Sabres. They'll still be a pretty good team.
Yeah, but - man, I'm still shaken up about the collapse in the finals when every indication was that this should have been our year. Add on to that the Bill's little dance on my feelings Sunday, and it's gonna be another tough year to be a Buffalo sports fan.
