Today, I will predict who will win the end of season individual awards, some will come as no surprise some might just stimulate heated debate.
Hart Trophy: Sidney Crosby. Could there be any other option? Not if he stays healthy, he truly is the next one. He may never break Wayne Gretzky's records, but he is the best player since Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky graced the ice for the first time.
Pearson Award: Sidney Crosby. He will be the first back to back winner since Dominik Hasek in 1998.
Conn Smythe Trophy: Sidney Crosby. The next one will lead his team all the way to the cup and will further his resume and his reputation as the "next one," which will be crucial in the Pens going all the way.
Art Ross: Sidney Crosby. Can anyone stop this kid? Only injury can stop him in his chase to eclipse past Penguins' winners Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr.
Rocket Richard Trophy: Dany Heatley. A healthy Jason Spezza and a new contract will see Heatley produce another 50+ goal season, but this time the Rocket Richard will be his.
Norris Trophy: Niklas Lidstrom. Will this guy ever relinquish his hold on this award? The guy is simply the best defenseman in the modern era.
Calder Trophy: Brett Sterling. Many of you will be saying Brett who? Well, he lead the AHL last year with 55 goals in his rookie year. He will start the season in Atlanta playing on a line with Ilya Kovalchuk and if he remains there, he should have a very good chance of winning the Calder.
Veznia Trophy: Roberto Luongo. There will be no mistake this year, he is the best goalie in the league and will take over the crown this year from incumbent Martin Brodeur.
Selke Trophy: Rob Brind'Amore. He is undoubtedly the best defensive forward in the game and will be the first guy to win three Selkes in a row since Bob Gainey back in 1981.
Jack Adams: Michel Therrien. He was wrongly overlooked last year as the winner, but this year he will prove himself more than worthy of the award, but could his icy personality work against him?

Wow, I gotta say, this is the worst predictions I have seen in a long time.
How can you say, that crosby is the best player to play since Lemieux and Gretzky when you have Lidstrom?
Lidstrom is the best since wayne and lemieux, not crosby.
The pens look weak this year, and without any good backup goaltending they will have to play catch up in a lot of games this year, meaning no empty net points for mr crosby.
Crosby isn't the next one. Lecavalier is better then crosby, which is why your coach therien makes sure not to put crosby's line against lecavalier's line.
You can book this, the pens will have a tough time making the playoffs this year!
LOL @ Oz for blocking anonymous posts. Is it because you don't want the opinions of the more knowledgeable?
So what if Crosby is starting out slow. So what if he's the 3rd of 4th best player in the league. So what if the Penguins look horrible. So what if someone doesn't agree with your opinions... the least you should do is let them voice theirs.
Fact is, you need the readers and comments. Out of 4 comments in this blog I am responsible for 3 of them.
Has anyone seen Zr22k?
I like the predictions, for the most part. As far as Mr. Anonymous, I can do nothing but laugh, the guy must be on acid. Lidstrom is great, but he's been around for how long and Crosby is ready to eclipse him, make him his shadow. Pens started off slow last year and yeah they didn't make it far, but they made it a lot farther than they had in 6 years. Give them a month or so, we'll see who is what and what team goes where.
