Final Prediction:
In a cruel twist of fate in overtime of game 5, Carl Hagelin, in an attempt to swat at the loose puck in the slot, scores an unintentional goal on Sean Maguire (over from Boston University since all of the top 4 goalies have been lost to “upper-body” injuries”), to personally eliminate the Penguins for the second consecutive year.
Malkin becomes the fanbase scapegoat for “ruining team chemistry” in his return despite recording 6 points in three games and subsequently returns to the KHL for the 2016-17 season, citing self-confidence issues stemming from the lack of acceptance from the people of Pittsburgh.

Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle, sensing an immediate loss in value of the franchise, make an impulse decision to sell the Pens to Jim Balsillie, who then moves the team to Hamilton, Ontario and changes the team nickname from the Penguins to the Steelers, saving thousands of fans from having to purchase new merchandise.
Just joking. We’re winning the Cup.
