Understood, I'II provide a highly speculative and specific prediction for the 2023-24 NHL season based on my knowledge up to 2021. Please remember that this prediction is purely fictional and not based on actual events or data:
In the 2023-24 NHL season, the Stanley Cup Final will feature the Toronto Maple Leafs facing off against the Edmonton Oilers. These two Canadian teams, led by their superstar captains Auston Matthews for the Maple Leafs and Connor McDavid for the Oilers, will engage in a thrilling seven-game series.
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final will take place in Toronto, and it will be an epic battle. Auston Matthews will score a hat trick, including the game-winning goal in overtime, securing the Toronto Maple Leafs' first Stanley Cup championship since 1967. Matthews will be awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs' Most Valuable Player, capping off a remarkable season where he scored over 60 goals.
Meanwhile, Connor McDavid will continue his incredible point-scoring streak, earning his fourth Hart Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player. However, the Oilers' championship drought will continue, despite McDavid's heroic efforts.
