Interesting name...I am just not sure why Buffalo would move him ?Devils could try to get UPL from the Sabres for less than 10OA.
You very much have my interest.Devils could try to get UPL from the Sabres for less than 10OA.
FanDuel has NJ at +1200 to win the Cup before getting any goalie. They have Vancouver at +2000.That was then and this is now.
Pick up 2024 is calling...
...or keep rummaging around at Value Village for a starting Goalie.
Your choice.

How are fans making bets on next year's Stanley Cup champion before odds are even released?
"Large amounts of bets on a team can change odds". Not nearly enough people are betting on 2024 future cup odds to sway them yet.
the important lesson is that the odds aren't meant to reflect who the bookmaker thinks is going to win. it's about balancing the money."Large amounts of bets on a team can change odds". Not nearly enough people are betting on 2024 future cup odds to sway them yet.
The odds are set by the vast vast data pools that vegas has to analyze teams, games, and every other variable you can think of.

i think your underestimating the bookmakers. i think they have a good idea how much money is going to be wagered and where it lands.Correct - oddsmakers take into consideration how fan bases will bet when coming up with the odds and they will shift based on betting patterns, but the former doesn't have a much of an impact (considering NJ's fanbase is smaller than Vancouver's, unless this is US-based only) and the latter doesn't apply yet since these were the first betting odds released.

Goalies aren’t like defencemen. There are only a few legit starters available and the surprises, like Kahkonen, are usually backup quality or worse.Gonna laugh when Fitzy nabs a goalie and it's someone none of us even expected were available. He likes to do that alot, Graves, Marino etc etc to an extent Khakonen last yr

I’m guessing you’re not a fan of top end goaltending?Are Vancouver fans really trying to say Demko for L. Hughes is a fair deal?
Not this fan .. not remotely close. No one is giving massive value for a goalie that can't stay healthy.Are Vancouver fans really trying to say Demko for L. Hughes is a fair deal?
Markstrom at this stage of his career is only average goalie with huge contract. Doubt Jersey giving up 10 for himI think 10th overall for Markstrom is an over payment by the Devils, simple at that.
However they also have picks 28, 41, and something around 60. I imagine adding 28th to Markstrom would be a little steep for the CGY management as it only bring them up 18 spots but I don't think anyone would hate it.
The devils have 10 and then nothing until the 3rd.
Could they get creative and do something like:
To NJD: Markstrom 41 and/or 60
To CGY: 10, 80
Markstrom and one second is a pretty good offer. Markstrom and two seconds is a good offer. Markstrom and a late first is a really good offer. So they have different attack angles here. See how it plays out.
