cool thread

1. Will Lidstrom finish next season as a Norris Nominee? Of Course

2. He finished the season with 27 goals, despite spending much of the season in the bottom 6. With a regular top six role, can Franzen score 40 goals? Yes, I believe he will have a true breakout year.

3. Will the Wings have a 100 point man? a 50 goal man? If yes, who? No 100 point man (two in 90's though) Yes, Hank will score 50.

4. Will a rookie defenseman find himself with a regular roster spot? If yes, who? No, I predict an off-season veteran signing

5. Will Howard back-up Ozzie with a winning record and a good statistical showing? Yes, Yes

6. Out of Filppula, Samuelsson, and Hudler, who tallies the most points? Most goals? Points - Hudler, Goals - Sammy

7. Which Darren makes the top 13 forwards - McCarty, Helm or Both? Helm

8. Does Kopecky score either of 10 goals or 20 points? No

9. His playoff scoring rate would equate to 54 points on a regular season. Can Niklas Kronwall break 50 points next regular season? Yes

10. Predict the number of Red Wing wins for next season, and their number of wins against Chicago. 56, 4
