Pittsburgh selected Sidney Crosby first overall in 2005. Good pick. Montreal snagged Carey Price at No. 5. Another good pick. But the rest of the top 10 is nowhere to be found in the updated version.

The 2005 NHL draft was all about Sidney Crosby and, yeah, it looks like he’s going to work out just fine. Good pick, Pittsburgh. The rest of the top 10 gets a little dicey, but at least Montreal grabbed Carey Price as a rare goalie drafted early in the first round.
