Stanley Cup: NJD
Reason: All hinges on Brodeur, but with a more competent backup (The Moose), he will get more rest in the regular season and with the wicked supporting cast NJ has, I can definitely see them taking it all if Brodeur steps up his post-season play.
Presidents: Washington Capitals
Reason: Is a reason needed?
Maurice Richard: Alexander Ovechkin
Reason: Name one natural goal scorer better than Ovechkin, playing with a better passer than Backstrom
Art Ross: Ovechkin again
Reason: View above, plus, he should get more assists since Backstrom likes to shoot now.
Vezina: Henrik Lundqvist
Reason: Highway robbery, grand larceny, call it whatever it you want, it complete bull that King Henrik has not won a Vezina yet.
Ted Lindsay trophy (aka, Lester B. Pearson Memorial trophy): Ovechkin
Reason: Best player in the league, might as well go for his hattrick
Frank Sylke: Pavel Datysuk
Reason: Who else?
Jack Adams: Guy Boucher
Reason: Expect Tampa to make the playoffs, and he will get loads of credit.
Norris: Rory Fitzpatrick. If not him, probably Doughty.
Reason: With added experience, he will only be better, and won't be a runner-up again this next season.
Calder Trophy: Mikael Backlund
Reason: Going off the board quite a bit with this one, but if Sutter uses Backlund properly, centering Iggy and either Bourque or Tanguay, expect him to have a big season, and hopefully salvage the mess that is the Flames :'(
Thoughts?
see that you've used the same layout as me :P nice predictions though. dont agree on the vezina or the calder, but all in all, nice picks
