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. |
I'm not a fan of Moneypuck. Despite the name, their odds don't actually drive gambling action from what I can tell. For example, their odds of making playoffs:
Seattle: 87.9%
Colorado: 78.3%
That's not how I would bet it.
Seems they just look at results to date and SOS the rest of the way without taking into account how good the teams actually are.
