1. Not a single Hansford or Shuck will make the playoffs. As of today, both Hansfords and all three Shucks are sitting on the outside looking in. Is it possible thta none of these 5 teams make the playoffs?

2. We will never get another podcast. Our "Master 'caster" has gone silent of late. With such a terrible team, has Dan lost interest in the league already? Maybe his gambling addiction is too much of a distraction? Either way, I also expect Dan to threaten to quit at least 2 times and actually quit once (but be coaxed back).

3. Carey Price will win the Vezina, with rediculous numbers. Undoubtedly the best goalie in the world, the only question mark this season for Price is whether or not he can stay healthy. Coyotes mangement will focus on managing his workload and will keep him healthy all season, alowing him to win the Veizna. Unfortunately, the joy will be short-lived as he'll go down on a long-term injury in the first round of the playoffs.

4. Connor McDavid will win the scoring title and will clean up the BRHL awards. Similar to Price, the main issue with McDavid is his health. Washington will manage his minutes and will allow him to win the Calder, Hart, Art Ross and Rocket Richard trophies.

5. Neither the Rangers, nor the Ducks will win a single game in regulation. In what will become the most ludicrous tank-job ever, both the Ducks and Rangers will somehow manage to not win a single game in regulation, prompting the BRHL to implement new rules to guard against this rediculousness.

6. Bryce will throw in the towel and sell off before Christmas, and will somehow manage to win several deals thus completing his 1-year rebuild.  Bryce has been quoted as saying that he will sell if he's not in playoff contention. The question really is when will it happen, and how much can he get for his rentals.

7. The Stars will fall. Despite a self-proclaimed dominant preseason and good start, the over-confident Stars will stumble through the first half of the season, try to imrove before the deadline, squeak into the playoffs, and lose in the first round. The Stars GM will be heard making excusues about injuries or bad refereeing, but everyone else will know it was his goaltending all along.

8. We will make it through the entire season without having a single GM leave (except Dan, who will come crawling back). After an offseason with more activity than I have ever seen it is clear that this group of GMs is the best we've ever had. No reason to expect anyone will leave.

9. The bottom 3 teams from last season will all make the playoffs this year. The bottom 3 from last year (Washington, Pittsburgh and Montreal) are all much improved, with the Canadiens currently looking like the biggest season-to-season improvement. It is a real possibility that all three of these teams could make the playoffs.

10. The Islanders will Win the Cup. The city, finally released from it's previous under-performing GM will go on to win the Cup. Meanwhile, the Blues will miss the playoffs...
