The Sicatoka Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 If I were to throw down on someone not in the top one third of that list (the break is at 14/1), and considering the return and the reality of them pulling it off, I'd pick the Winnipeg Jets at 25/1. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Given these odds, who's a good buy? Who's the worst buy? Given this year's playoffs, unless they lose a lot of players, TB is pretty good. The Coyotes don't even have ice as of now, so they'd still be a bad call at 10,000/1. I don't get the Kings odds, either... Quote

The Sicatoka Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I don't get the Kings odds, either... I really don't have a problem with that number for LAK. Part of it is the money thrown at them by gambling LA fans on the weekend excursion to Vegas. Part of it is that they are one year removed from a Cup and still have those core guys. They had a lot go wrong last season (Voynoy, slow start, Mike Richards, and at season's end we find an issue with Stoll) but if they can figure out their defense over the summer, they'll be back.

Oxbow6 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Chris VandeVelde was shopping at the new Hornbacher's in Moorhead during their gand opening yesterday.................I see Hak already has someone grocery shopping for him. But with $10M in your pocket on can afford that I guess. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Calling it now: Bucci picks the Eichel-Sabres FTW at $100/1 Nightmare scenario: Bucci goes to NBCSN to call NHL Eastern finals between the Buffalo Eichel-Sabres (yes, they'll be renamed by January ) and the Philly Flyers. My $2 for 66/1 on Philly ... gone. Then Bucci replaces Doc in calling the 2016 Cup Finals: Eichel-Sabres v. Edmonton McOilers Quote

farce poobah Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 If I go for a long shot, Toronto at 66-1 would be my pick. * Great respect for Mike Babcock. * I think they figure out the locker room chemistry. * And there's a lot of talent there. Quote

I totally see what you're saying, but every team has things go wrong every season - it's how they overcome those issues that matters. I have to wonder if the Kings aging of that core is catching up? In the cup year, they should have been knocked out in the first round (seriously!). Good on them for sticking together and getting hot, but if they had lost game 4, 5, 6, or 7 and been eliminated in round one and then missed the playoffs last year, as they did, they'd be getting Toronto odds...

Ray77 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Lots of things going on now. Things should start heating up a bit before the NHL Draft begins next Friday, June 26th in Sunrise, FL. Minnesota waives veteran Matt Cooke, will buy out last year of contract Rumblings: Leafs listening on Kessel, working on signing Bernier Rumblings: Blues open to moving out core players Quote

I think you might be exaggerating on them having odds similar to Toronto had they lost in the first round. LA missed the playoffs by a couple of points and Toronto had one of the 5 worst records in the NHL. I believe LA had one of the worst records in shootouts this year and most statistical analysis of shootouts say that they all basically come down to luck. There is little correlation in shootout records and team talent. If LA had managed to be an average shootout team they would have been in the playoffs this year. Also they didn't just have things go wrong, they have two players facing possible felony charges, with one of them facing possible deportation. Those are hardly normal things going wrong during the season. And they really aren't that old of a team. Their best players are Kopitar (27 y.o.), Carter (30 y.o.), Doughty (25 y.o.), Toffoli (23 y.o.), and Quick (29 y.o.). Their oldest player was 33 this year. Toronto on the other hand has had the 4th worst record, 8th worst record, made playoffs, 5th worst record, and 9th worst record over the past 5 years. They may have slightly higher odds than they deserve. But I feel like they should be in the same category as the Capitals, Bruins, and Penguins. Quote
