I have never even attempted NHL predictions. I follow the Pens, but I do not keep track of off-season moves like I do with baseball or football. So I have zero clue how well I will do. My guess is probably bad. But whatever, here goes nothing!

I am not going to try and predict all the other awards because that would be crazy. Do I have reasoning behind my picks? Not really. I just look at the Vegas odds and pick someone I have a feeling about. Yeah, very scientific. And I am totally doing a dream pick here with the Penguins winning the cup.
