I like this question.
I think its "who"
Now let us all pelt Helpinghandman and Doc Hollywood with trout for trying to tell us who they think will win the cup

Who will win the Stanley Cup. The word whom is used as an object, not a subject.

For whom the bell tolls? Certainly not for the members of the team that doesn't win Lord Stanley's Cup!

I'm pretty sure it's 'Which team will win the Stanley Cup'

It is a common mistake for most people, but the correct term is "Whom will win the Stanley Cup".

It is
Who will win the Stanley Cup?
or
The Stanley cup will be won by whom?

The correct usage is Whom will will the Stanley Cup?
The answer would be they ( a plural) will win the Stanley Cup.
It wouldn't be 'who' b/c 'who' is singular ( one).

I'm going with 'Like I'm Telling You's call. "Who" refers to a person or individual while the Stanley Cup is won by a group/team hence, "which" seems more appropriate.
Jenni, our resident prof, will have to weigh in on this one. lol.

Who or Whom?, the words matter little to this old man as long as The Tampa Bay Lightning win. Go Lightning!

Who is used where a nominative pronoun such as I or he would be appropriate, that is, for the subject of a verb or for a predicate nominative; whom is used for a direct or indirect object or for the object of a prepostion. Thus, we write the referee who played hockey was there, since who is the 'subject' of 'played'; and Whom do you like best? because whom is the 'object' of the verb 'like'...
