In the two years I've run this, the Isles have achieved 100 point seasons. Now it's time to do it again.

There are 10 questions, each worth a total of 10 points. There is a 'close enough' score for each category based on how far off your answer is from reality. Please put your answers in the comments. I will close entries shortly before the first game of the season. You may change your entry as many times as you'd like before they close, just reply to your own comment. I'll take the last entry as your official entry.
