The Flames are slightly higher (57.9% vs. 55.3%), but they have Florida with slightly higher odds to actually win a round if they do make it.

I don't see why early prime 24 year old Tkachuk gets slammed while late prime 29 year old Huberdeau has had the same issues and it is played off like no big deal. If I had to pick one that will eventually become a playoff performer, I would go with the younger player who is just entering his prime years.
Huberdeau has had far tougher playoff matchups for one...How would Calgary have done facing Tampa every year?

Also those odds are a joke when you look at remaining schedules and the division the teams play in.
