I expect:
-SKA will win the regular season by 20pts at least. Will fail in the 2nd round.
-Jokerit will have a very decent season. Selänne will be signed for one shootout
-Loko will finally be a force again
-CSKA will become the new Vityaz after firing Kvartalnov for being a good coach and trade Radulov at the deadline for a bag of pucks
-weather in Sochi will be good... like superb
-the Mistress of the Copper Mountain will give Weissfeld a bag of golden pucks and he'll trade for Radulov(oh, did I mention they are golden pucks?) and Avto will thrive on
-Lada will sign PIV mid-season and he'll teach them to hit crap out of ppl
-MMG will cruise to win the division. Lose in conference finals. Zaripov will go to the WC and win it. Mozyakin will be too tired again.
-Traktor will have a new coach by November
-Avangard will rebound
-Nazar-aga will become a cult figure in Kazakhstan
-everybody will complain over "dull", "boring", "outdated" Bills' hockey, especially after AkBars winning the Gagarin Cup again. Yes, it's homerism!
