Two decades after Mario Lemieux's selection as the top pick saved the Pittsburgh Penguins franchise from oblivion, the team will get the chance to draft a player whose skill has been compared to that of Lemieux.
The Penguins won the NHL Entry Draft Lottery on Friday, earning the right to draft junior phenom Sidney Crosby, whose scoring exploits have made him the clear No. 1 choice.
The Montreal Canadiens came close in the draw, netting the 5th pick. Ottawa will choose 9th, followed by Vancouver at 10. Toronto picks 21st, Edmonton 25th and Calgary 26th

Hopefully Crosby can save Penguins.
