NHL question bonanza -- best players and best teams?

[cjwright79]

The NHL season is nearly upon us (Thursday night), so share who you think the top 10 best players in the league are, and which four teams you think will make it to the Conference Finals. Go!

Bonus questions: Who will win the Calder, Rocket Richard, Norris, Hart, and Art Ross Trophies.

(Rookie of the year, most goals, best defense man, MVP, most points)

My predictions for this season are as follows:

The Toronto Maple Leafs will start and finish strong winning 6-8 out of both their first and last 10 games for a total of 12-16 wins on the season.

The Philadelphia Flyers will completely reinvent how the game is played by trading all of their remaining players for draft picks.

The Winnipeg Jets will kick off their inaugural season by relocating.

The Columbus Blue Jackets will make it to the playoffs for the second time in team history taking their franchise post season recod from 0-4 to 0-8.

Alexander Ovechkin will break the NHL record for most excuses for not having won a Stanley Cup.

The Calgary Flames will make a splash at the trade deadline by acquiring the 2009 Toronto Maple Leafs

Roberto Luongo will continue to disappoint not only Vancouver, but the entire population of Canada by allowing a goal at some point.

Tie Domi is awesome. That's not really a prediction but it's worth bringing up.

As part of its ongoing plan to destroy hockey, NBC will acquire the broadcast rights to all games for the next 20 years and then refuse to air any of them.

I was going to predict that Rick Dipietro would get hit by a puck and spend the rest of the season on injured reserve, but then I remembered how improbable it is that Dipietro will actually come into contact with a puck. Either way, Dipietro's going down at some point.

Finally, Sidney Crosby will return from his concussion and single handedly take Pittsburgh all the way to the cup. That is to say, by the time Crosby gets back from IR, Brendan Shanahan will have suspended the rest of the league.

nice, very nice, easy Best Answer, and good for you for ignoring the questions and just doing your own thing

You have to go with

Alexander the great.

Sidney Crosby

The kid line from the Hawks

Towes & Kane

I have always like Dion Phaneuf. I like offensive minded defense men.

The dreaded Detroit Dead Wings, The Hawks & the snake bitten Sharks

I don't follow the East too much.

Too early to tell about who will win the trophies with the exception of Anti Niemi. I'd like to see him win The Vezina Trophy

Best players: (no order) Jones-Drew, Calvin Johnson, Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles, Aaron rodgers, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Ed Reed, darren mcfadden, steven jackson, peterson.

Teams: Pats, Steelers, Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Ravens, Lions, Bills... I think all teams have a lot of potential... Especially the redskins.
