In the second segment of their discussion on capping the NHL for the rest of the season, Peter Loshak and Benjie C take a look at a number of specific teams of note.
All numbers quoted are for games through February 9.
Part 1: Detroit Red Wings
Detroit made the Stanley Cup Finals last year, but this year has been one of the worst bets in the NHL despite playing over .500.
Part 2: Chicago Blackhawks
Chicago has been an up-and-coming team for a while that now looks like they have arrived. But the value may be gone from their lines as they are now consistently big favorites.
Part 3: Nashville Predators
Nashville is a team that seems to some to do more with their talent than people expect.
Part 4: Phoenix and Washington, the 2 Most Profitable Teams Through Feb 9
Phoenix and Washington play drastically different styles, but they share the top 2 spots in the NHL in terms of profitability as of February 9.
Part 5: Ottawa Senators
Ottawa has been a very profitable team to bet on of late, but there is some concern that their recent success may be a bit of a mirage.
Part 6: LA and Colorado, 2 consistently profitable teams through Feb 9
LA and Colorado have both enjoyed sustained profitability throughout the season to date.
Part 7: Boston, Toronto and Edmonton, the 3 Most Money-Losing Teams through Feb 9
Boston, Toronto and Edmonton were the 3 biggest money-losing teams in the NHL through February 9. Their fortunes going forward may be a bit different though.
Part 8: Anaheim and Carolina, 2 teams that made stark profitability turnarounds after Jan 1
Anaheim and Carolina were both notably bad bets through December 31, and then notably good bets after. Benjie gives his opinion on whether those changes are likely to continue or not.
Part 9: Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver has been a reasonably good bet throughout the year, and they are a team that Benjie specifically has a strong opinion on.
