With the way a lot of people are acting about the team this year #2 might make some people mad...

[OrangeZebra]

1. Hurricanes move back to Hartford
2. Francis and Brind'Amour come out of retirement, score a combined 2 points
3. Eric Staal concusses Jordan
4. Jared Staal leads team in points
5. Alex Semin puts effort in

Realistic yet bold predictions.

1. Staal notches 100 points.
2. Ward nominated for Vezina
3. Semin earns a long term contract from someone.
4. Canes have two players in the top ten for scoring. Most bold.
5. Canes win SE division by 5pts.

I'm just coming in here to applaud this train of thought sir. It was especially hilarious to read after three ****-tastic days at work this weekend. That, or maybe I'm just delirious and thought it was funny.

On the same play or two different plays?

[Anton Bubchuk]

1. CBA gets resolved; full season played.
2. Nash (Rick) booed at MSG.
3. No Cane tops 30 goals, but 5 top 20.
4. 75% of LaRose posts here will be positive.
5. Cam Ward plays 75 games.

[Blueline Bomber]

#4 will never happen.

[Carolinas Identity]

How about this for a *BOLD* prediction?

Four Canadian teams (Leafs, Jets, Oilers, Habs) will pick in the top 5 next draft

[AntonfortheHart]

Chad Larose scores 20 goals
Justin Faulk hits 40 points
The Staals combine for 150 points
Pitkanen hits 50 points
A rookie defenseman that is NOT Murphy, Gragani, or Bobby S. plays several games for the Canes, and doesn't look too out of place.

This is perfect! It'll subside any disappointment going around this board when we lose to the Rangers in the ECF. That's my boldest prediction, the rest that follow are in order:

2. Chad LaRose plays his last game in a Hurricanes sweater. *Ultimate fanbase meltdown*
3. Ryan Murphy doesn't play a single NHL game.
4. Alex Semin re-signs a mid-season contract.
5. Jussi Jokinen passes 70 points and easily beats his career high.

[Highway to Cap Hell]

Alex Semin, Jordan, Eric and Skinner all break 75 points.

Jokinen scores 9 goals but gets 55+ assists.

Ruutu gets 20 points, but also registers 300 hits.

We trade LaRose for Douglas Murray.

JR retires after the end of the season and lets Ronnie Franchise take over as GM.

I would very much welcome each of these, but setting the bar that low for ruutu is just too much in my books.

Ward starts 72+ games. By January most people won't even be able to name the backup netminder sitting on the bench with door duty.

Injury takes out one of the top forwards early in the season. Fans talk about "giving up" but the team actually improves!

[Highway to Cap Hell]

Jiri Tlusty, playing with Semin and E. Staal, outscores Phil Kessel (while playing better defense). Leafs fans commit mass suicide.

[Amaxing Joni Jokel]

1. Pitkanen has 54 points and goes +79
2. McBain, Corvo, LaRose, Gleason, Boychuk, Stewart, Bowman and Samson are traded for Smid, Girardi, Fisher and Voracek.
3. 'Canes finish 65-11-6 and sweep Panthers in first round, with Alex Semin posting 8 points
4. File is corrupted when I turn off XBox while saving
5. ???
6. Profit
