[GranteedEV]

... well a lot of the stuff I'm excited about might not actually happen:

- Ortio making the team for good and putting up 93% save percentage over 60 games

- A whole year of Johnny/Monny/Jiri, and with Monahan being a better faceoff/possession center.

- Ferland, Backlund, and Frolik on the same line.

- Byron/Bouma, Bennett, and Jooris on another same line.

- Bouma/Byron, Stajan and Shore on another line.

- Nakladal, Morrisson, Wotherspoon, Granlund making the team proper by playoff time.

- Arnold, Poirier, Agostino, Culkin, Kulak, Klimchuk, Hathaway, Wolf getting callups and making the best of them.

All pretty optimistic.

So I guess I'll just go with winning the Pacific division and having home ice over Anaheim, beating them in a playoff series without even breaking the Honda Center curse, and then winning the Stanley Cup. That's a safe enough bet at least.
