1. Patrick Kane

2. Bobby Orr

3.Hasek

4.Hedman. Tavres can't skate.

5. If you have to pick between those two: San Jose b/c Detroit will lose first round. However if Det/S.J series, Detroit would win.

6. Crosby.

7. Simon for sure. Actions > Words. Everyone is overating too Avery. The NHL is an ultra- conservative league that has insulated itself against a changing culture. It is out of touch and has a rod up the rod that's already in it's ass. Time to grow up and stop crying over someone razzing someone else. Avery has been suspended ONCE.

8. They will tie for 8th place. But Ottawa will have more wins. Toronto fans will never live it down, but no one in Toronto will notice since they will resort to the expected decade-old retorts about playoff series jinxes.

Note to Laffs: You actually have to make it to the dance before you can fail at it. You should try this sometime.

9. Selanne = Better Career. Modano = Rather hve him on my team now. You can't really ask American fans this question and expect an honest answer BTW.

10. Since Roberts is retired (again) and Federov is injured (again), I shall take Chelios.

Cup Prediction: Chicago vs Washington. Chicago in 7. Knabby in goal.

I tend to agree with Ranger_fan, I'd say Ovechkin has more to his game. I'd probably call him the more well rounded player.

Good points and I do agree with the "phsyical element" Ovechkin definately has the upper hand but when it comes to a critical situation (defensive or offensive) I would take Crosby over ovechkin and that is what I feel is mroe well rounded.

I cannot deny thw wow factor between Ovechkin and Crosby...Alex is easily the the most exciting player in the NHL but centres and wings are different animals hence why I picked Crosby over Ovechkin and used the wow facotr to pick Mario over Gretz.

These are dream decisions for a GM. It really starts coming down to personal opinion "gut" more then anything else.

How is Crosby a more rounded player? He has better vision and passing ability...

And you say Mario b/c of a wow factor - do you think Ovechkin doesn't compare to Sid's wow ability too?

Crosby as he is a more rounded player
Mario because while Wayne is the All time scorer, Mario just amazed me more
Brodeur no contest.
Hedman as I like to build a team from the net out.
San Jose just ebcause I have been saying this for the last 3 years
Crosby ..no contest
Sean Avery is the gentler of the two as he really only abuses with words rather then chopping people with sticks or for that matter, stepping on them with skates
Looks like the leafs will have more points
Good question. I say Selanne is the better player now but Modano had the better career. Seems to have been more of the leader then Selanne was.
LOL even better question. Both are washed up but I will pick Roberts based on leadership.

1.Crosby or Ovechkin? (or Malkin) I say MALKIN

2.Wayne or Mario? I go Mario but thats only cause I live in Pittsburgh. They are 2 of the best players to ever play the game though. Loved watching them both play.

3.Hasek in his prime (think 1997-1999) vs. Brodeur in his prime
Brodeur....Hands Down

4.John Tavares vs Vector Hedman - Who goes 1st overall?
I have no idea

5.San Jose or Detroit? Who comes out of the west? Detroit

6.Jagr's career or Crosby's?
Crosby...he is more a team player. His stats will eventually show it.

7.Sean Avery or Chris Simon? Chris Simon

8.Ottawa or Toronto?
Toronto (I know, a Pens fan going with Toronto. Just being honest. I think they are in the middle of turning their season around as we speak/type.

9.Better player now? Better player career? Mike Modanno vs. Teemu Selanne.

Modanno

10.In the playoffs, this year which 40ish year old would you rather have? Playoff warrior Gary Roberts who brings all those intangables, or one of the highest scoring playoff players ever Sergei Fedorov?

FEDOROV. Can this even be a debate?

Lastly, any mid season early cup predictions?

As of now I would say Boston and Detroit. Both playing great Hockey.
