nice team... do you think they would have won the cup if they had malkin? that is a great 1, 2 punch down the center. This shows how much we under value a great player like malkin who i think as of right now is a conn smythe winner or at-least there with Erik.

They still don't beat Pittsburgh with a Crosby/Ovechkin top line.
I think having 1-2 punch is extremely important and the players have to be multidimensional. Malkin I think is the most underrated 2 way player in the game (see him under Michael Therrian, and Sullivan). His offense drives from his defense it seems. I also think the caps would still have taken Backstrom BPA. If not him brassard. Ovie/Malkin was the Ovie/Malkin draft everyone knew both would be world class players.

Ovie would not be on Crosby's line. Also I said early in their careers Ovie/Crosby team would dominate the entire league.. But last 2-3 years I think caps team would have been better suited to beat the Penguins.
