2) Bobby Butler scores 30+ goals and 60+ points.
3) Kopitar wins the scoring title with 108 points, and the Hart Trophy.
4) Phoenix makes the playoffs and LaBarbera ends up with 30+ wins.
5) Grabner struggles and gets demoted to the 3rd line half way through the season.
6) Souray outpoints Goligoski
7) Winnipeg and Florida battle for the 8th spot until the last week of the season, with Winnipeg sneaking in thanks to Pavelec's strong season.
8) Wolski bounces back and surpasses the 60 point mark.
9) The Stanley Cup will be won by a team who didn't make the playoffs last year (yes, vague but I don't care)
10) I will win my new roto league over fellow Dobberites.
I didn't crunch any numbers for any of the suggested trades, and they are rather ridiculous, so bare with me...
The Blues win their division
Brodeur has his worst season
Jordan Staal wins the Selke, gets point per game
Kadri, Colborne, Komisarek and a conditional pick are traded for Parise
Havlat gets 80
Lundqvist wins the Vezina
Edmonton trades Linus Omark, Gagner, and Hemsky for Yandle
Heater is traded to Detroit, has chemistry with Bertuzzi and Zetterberg
Joel Ward plays on a line with Ovechkin and Backstrom, nets 30 goals
Nashville trades Lindback to the Islanders for P.A. Parenteau
Reimer excels, Toronto trades Gustavsson for Magnus Paajvari
Chara 'Charas' Stamkos, southern Ontario and Canada go f**k** berzerk
Sheldon Souray has a sex tape leaked, gets banned from the league and joins WWE

Neglecting from the trades and the last two comically ridiculous predictions (that I wrote at the end of my graveyard shift), I do not fear my fearless forecasts. They are plausible, just as everyone else's are. Just as probable? Perhaps so, perhaps not. Seeing as you do fear them, then perhaps this is the wrong thread for you...
" You said you don't give a f*ck about hockey. I've never heard anyone say that before."
The two quotes above made me laugh. If I take the average of both predictions, Calgary will either finish 9th with a slight chance of sneaking in the dance.
Your list was fine - I enjoyed reading the trades. However, even though I'm a Parenteau supporter, I would not like to see that deal!
I will try to be BOLD and sometimes HOPEFUL
1. Crosby plays less than 50 games.
2. Grabner experiences the dreaded sophmore slump
3. Brad Richards experiences a season-ending injury
4. BOLD - Paajarvi outscores Hall
5. Kopitar finishes top 3 in league scoring
6. Stamkos fails to reach 40 goals and 80 points
7. BOLD - Filatov scores 30+ goals and over 55 points
8. EXTREMELY BOLD - The Calder is won by a player we least expect - Mark McNeil (Chicago) or Devante Smith-Pelly (Anaheim)
9. Blockbuster deal occurs for Winnipeg trading BOTH Bogosian AND Little.
10. HOPEFUL - Toronto finishes last in the league (Burke drafts Ryan Murray rather than the star forwards available that Toronto has craved since Sundin left).
BONUS: HOPEFUL -Youngblood snaps and hires a hitman to nix Burke.
Love some of those Dean.
1) Kovalchuk under 75 pts
2) Bieksa records 45 pts, 150 pim
3) Price wins the Vezina
4) Gaborik plays 80+ games, put 49 goals
5) Crosby wont play until Christmas
6) P.Kane gets hurt, records under 60 pts
7) Tavares over 85 pts, top 10 in the league
8) Spezza injury free season, records 85 pts
9) Jordan click with Malkin, outscore Eric (Staal) by 1 pt
10) Carcillo records 15 G and 300 pim
a lot of wild guesses...it's quite easy to tell who is a leaf fan haha
