He’s only labeled the next Wayne Gretzky, he’s been hyped for years and his name has been all over the place… Yet maybe this is a tell tale sign how bad the NHL is doing in some circles….
St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer Jeff Gordon at least makes it look that way…
Entry Draft: After a year-long shutdown, what does the NHL do with its draft? Simon Crosby is the top player coming out of the junior hockey ranks, by a lot. Should the league stage a lottery for every team this summer, once a deal is struck?
Yeah, it’s definately a long road back for the NHL if the media can’t even get the name of it’s next superstar right.

The sad part about it is that St. Louis is a pretty established hockey market. If they got it wrong in Nashville, that’s one thing, but St. Louis? I remember SI had an article about 5 years ago saying that they were America’s best sports city because of the strong support and tradition of every team there.
Wow, that’s worse than when TSN.ca had it as “Syndey Crosby” a few months back.
The guys name is Sidney, not Simon.
