i think they meant avs 21 to 1 to make the playoffs lol.

 

[NickFazekas]

I'm convinced one day the Coyotes are going to have a good team. They have talent pouring out their ears all over the roster, except in goal I suppose.

 

[NickFazekas]

flames 15 to 1 seems pretty high.

:an_roll_laugh:

Coyotes have some great depth now... I cant figure out the direction they are going though, one minute its youth and speed, the next minute they are adding Owen Nolan. Dont get it really, but they have guys like Doan, Nagy, nice additions with Jovo. COuld be some good spots. But like you said, never a good thing when your goalie is nearing 40:down:

Thought Calgary would be in the 11-13:1 range.

Looking over it more, Boston is alot better than 45:1 would indicate same with MOntreal at 25:1, Islanders are alot worse than 67:1.

If Lundqvist can repeat last season, Rangers have some good value.

Preseason right around the corner:cheers:

i'd jsut like the see the Queens in the playoffs again...

Goign to be tough, but the 7-10 rankings in the West should be real close and they could sneak in. Need to stay healthy in the pipes and win some division games, which is hard because I think the rest made greater strides this year with the exception of maybe Dallas, and they are already a solid playoff team... except when the playoffs come around with Turcon in net :spank:

Wonder what the justification is on DET odds being so low. This is gonna be an average year at best IMO unless Dom can play 60-65 games

BAR - come season total time, I will be hitting that Detroit under pretty hard. Whole division got better... if anything Hockey Town got worse IMO, Whens the last time Hasek played a season. Of course losing Stevie Y puts a huge hurt on their locker room presence and leader. Still will be a 'decent year' for them with the lines they can roll out, but no way would I peg them as the pre-season fave

 

[B.A.R.]

Exactly my thoughts Santa

Holland was already talking about maybe being happy with a lower playoff seed. They just don't have what it takes to make a run in playoffs. The regular season will be bumpy as well.

I am glad you posted this. I will await futures and place a wager on the under as well.:smiley_acbe:

 

[Santacapper]

Being a team like detroit they are always 'the hunted' and the rest of the division now has the guns to really be the 'hunter' this season.

Some other win totals I will play based on what I think they come out at in relation to the Cup odds is MInny over, St Louis over, Ottawa undermoney;

 

[NickFazekas]

Throw a fucking dart at the board to see who wins the cup any more.

 

[NickFazekas]

I guess you have to have a hot goalie and thats about the only requirement.

 

[NickFazekas]

I think carolina was like 80 to 1 when the first futures got posted last season.

 

[Santacapper]

Nick - play more futures for hedging guaranteed profit more than anything. not going to throw my money on teams i dont see making the playoffs to win the cup. Sets itself up nice to make$ when the seedings become clearer money;

 

[BRARSTAR]

I like the Canucks this year to win the west, and make a strong push in the post season

 

[Santacapper]

Be interesting to see Luongo in a Canucks jersey for sure Brar. Think losing Jovo will hurt them in the long run with the speed from the blue line. Naslund will have to gel again with the fresh start.

Never been a fan of Vigneault though :down:
