So, apologies in advance if the accuracy rate of the following 30 predictions ends up resembling that of the Florida Panthers' power play. After all, there is talk of significant draft day dealing that will skew the order of selection and give me an out. In fact, the jockeying has already begun with today's blockbuster trades by the Flyers of Jeff Carter (to Columbus for Jakub Voracek and the Jackets' first- and third-round picks) and Mike Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and a second-round selection.

Weren't jetpacks going to be one of the most thrilling parts of our future? After popping a protein pill for breakfast, we would then strap on our personal rocket packs and fly ourselves to our paperless offices in no time. But seven years into the 21st century and only 17 people have flown a jetpack.
