God. Are you completely daft?
For the THIRD time: there are a combination of factors taken into account by odds-makers that are not limited to market-size:
ONE is the actual projection of a team on the basis of roster-strength;
ONE is based on the amount of money the house collects and the minimum threshold to maintain their profit margin in the event of a payout.
THERE ARE CERTAINLY OTHERS AS WELL.
· Winnipeg is high because they are legitimately a good team.
· TB is high because they are probably the best team in the NHL.
· Anaheim likely attracts a lot of action because they have a long history of doing well.
· NYR is high because no one is so deluded to think that in this first year of a rebuild they will accomplish much.
This is not difficult. Why are you struggling so much to grasp the nuance in this?
