The only player to put up more points than Jason Spezza is Sidney Crosby

6. Habs miss the playoffs
7. Kunitz makes team canada, and is canada's top forward in the tournament
8. Russians dont win a medal on home ice. The cameraman will pause and zoom in on Malkin crying after they get eliminated from gold medal contention.

I think truely ridiculous forecasts should be given outlier values.
"Crosby gets 250 points" should be worth 10 points at least!
1: At least 5 of last year's top 10 point-getters will have a lower points/game this year.
2: At least three of last year's 6 division winners will have a lower winning percentage.
3: The top two seeds in each conference (Pitt, Montreal, Chicago, Anaheim) will all have a lower conference seed this time.
4: The bottom two seeds in each conference (Tampa, Florida, Nashville, Colorado) will all have a higher conference seed this time.
