    Penguins to win Division +1400???????????

    They were -200 for most part of the early season even without Crosby, Rangers go on a streak, Pens injuries pile up and start fading. So this number is now bigger than their Stanley Cup odds....

    Few Points for :

    Rangers will slow down....on pace for 113 points...not going to happen
    Pens are starting to heat up and get a little healthier
    If a miracle happens to Crosby and comes back 100%...game over division
    Penguins are a better team overall with the better coach,
    They have the #1 and #2 best players in the world

    Few Points against :

    The division is tough, top to bottom, not very many easy wins
    Flyers can potentially warm up too and steal the division
    Pens rarely care about going all out to win a division, they might get healthy for the playoffs
    Injuries most likely won't stop coming, depth can be an issue
    Posting this thread already reduces the chances of this happening


    What's everyone think?
    Do you see any worthy Stanley Cup Futures right now?
    Someone will surge in the 2nd half for sure....Wash? Tampa? Anaheim? Who knows?

    Crosby needs to come back for this to happen, but it's excellent value.

    I think this is the Flyers division right now. The Rangers will fall apart like they always do and the Flyers have been slumping a little bit and are still 4th in the conference and only 4 points back of the Rangers. If Bryz starts playing like he can and Giroux and Jagr come back to early season form this team could win the east. Should be exciting!

    You've got goaltending problems Ethan, but there's no question that this Flyer Team is loaded.

    Great franchise as a matter of fact; with one or two exceptions, they've been in the mix for the Cup every year for as long as I can remember.

    Down to +500.....

    Flyers are +275

    These bets need to be jumped on quickly as they change often.

    Boston was +500 to win division not that long ago.

    The biggest thing you're overlooking is the return of Kris Letang. He's going to give PIT that boost on offense until Crosby potentially comes back. Nice value on a futures prop.

    That was in point #2...getting healthier.

    Letang, Staal, Michalek are big pieces of the team.

    7 wins in a row. Not a bad way to end the all star break.
