20 Predictions for 2010

I would like to put on my "Nostradamus Hat" and attempt to look into the future ahead of us.  I am going to make some predictions of events that have some probability of occurring this calendar year.  I may be right, I may be wrong.  Regardless, I would like it recorded into the public record that I thought this might happen.  You are welcome to comment on the most likely and less likely.  It would make an interesting webpoll to ask which prediction is most likely to come true, though I don't want a 20 option poll.  Takes up too much space.

1) Jim Balsille will own a NHL team (may have to wait until Bettman is gone in 2011)
