[Draft pick official]

Does Crosby being drafted by Pittsburgh affect the Kovalev situation?

Hopefully it gives Kovalev more incentive to sign with Montreal. Kovy won't be playing on the firstline anymore. He has said in articles that Montreal is the best city he has ever played in. I hope he resigns with the Habs.

That Slovenian kid sounds like a good pick. I know that people are questioning him because Slovenia hasn't produced any NHLers. Plus if the Habs draft him, Koipat, i think his name is, it would add to the list of player names that are hard to pronounce. Perezhogin and Plekanic.
