Easy question...the guy that stops 93 of 100 shots or Crosby who'll perennially be competing for the Hart, scoring title etc.

August Question #6: .930 goalie or Sidney Crosby?

So you'd have the only starting goalie in the league with a +.930 save % - it's hard to pass up on that.
On the other hand, Crosby led a team to a Cup with a hack in nets, so I see the flip side as well.

A number 1 overall drafted hack. You may not think he was worth a 1st overall pick, but he's not a hack either.

I'd take the goalie personally. I can get a Tier 2 center/wingers like Spezza etc. and then feel 100% comfortable that my goalie will make the stops for me.
I wouldn't suck the wind out of my offense like Buffalo that's for sure, but I could live without Crosby with a guy stopping everything for me.

If it's Crosby (120 points) versus Spezza (let's say 90), then the difference is 36 in favor of the hot goalie. Spezza's defense is not as good as Corsby's, but not to the tune of 36 goals against.

What team did Crosby lead to a Cup? Malkin did finish with more points, more GWGs, and the Conn Smythe.
Personally I go with a goalie. There are very few elite goaltenders in this league, and if you build your team correctly around one, you will have a perennial cup contender.
Besides, even the top goalies in the league are paid around 2.5M per year less than Crosby, you should still be able to afford some talent up front.

Fleury is not in the category of Miller, Luongo, or lundqvist but he is still very talented and his resume is pretty damn good for a guy his age.
As for the question, no doubt it's Sidney Crosby. Buffalo would be a much better team if they had Crosby instead of Miller (with Enroth replacing him in nets). You don't need to have a .930 goaltender to win these days.
