Season bet
St Louis Blues Over 84.5 points -115, 2.5* (Sportsbetting)
The blues finished last year with 87 points. That's pretty good considering they were probably the most injured team in the nhl last year. Perron, Oshie, Mcdonald, Polak and even Halak all missed significant time. This team as really good talent spread out on all the team. They have a tough to play against talented duo in Stewart and Backes. Then they have Mcdonald, Steen, Berglund (who is starting to show signs of the true potential he has), Oshie, Perron ( who might play later this year) and even D'Agostini who had a good season last year. They also added Langenbrunner and Arnott who will bring experience on the team. On the back end they have talented duo of Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk who should ancher the powerplay and post some good numbers. they also have veteran Jackman and Polak who should stabilize things. Halak struggled a bit last year and if the blues want to make the playoffs he will have to play better but we know he is capable of that playing lights out for the Habs 2 seasons ago.
The only thing that scares me a little about this bet is the division they play in. I think it's the best in the nhl. I think Detroit should regress a little but other then that all the other teams still seems solid. But, I also think a lot of teams in the western conference has gotten worst this year and I think 85 points should be pretty easy for this team if they can stay healthy.
