Shit I'm going to grab a piece of that too haha. Also see 5dimes finally has their team win totals up too.
As an aside, this one caught my eye as another prop:
Kessel's last 5 seasons:
376 GP - that's EVERY GAME for the last 5 years - he hasn't missed one (officially, at least
)
151G, 188A for 339P
339P/376G = 0.90PPG
So Kessel, who has played every game for the last 5 seasons, has averaged 74 points per 82 games. He's done this while playing with TYLER FUCKING BOZAK for almost the entire time, who is a 3C at best on most teams in the league. Now he's probably playing with the best player in the world, and if not, another guy likely in the top 5. And you think he's only going to get an extra 5 points more than his average?
Sure, Kessel could get hurt, but he's shown to be one of the most durable guys in the league (yeah yeah, he gets nowhere near the corners, but who cares?), and is undoubtedly a deadly sniper and hugely underrated passer. If he plays 82 games this bet is a stone-cold lock, and if he plays 70 he'll probably still get there. The fact that the bet is at +money is just a bonus.
Get some!

I hate betting overs for player point totals but that one looks solid, I can't see how Kessel doesn't stay at a point a game in PIT, if he is playing with Crosby as projected he is actually playing with someone that can match his speed. People always under estimate Kessel's play making abilities and playing with someone to match his speed and someone that will create some extra space for him can't do him any harm. I don't think Kessel will get 50 goals but 40 is attainable then he only needs 39 Assists which is a bit of stretch for him but playing with Crosby and Possibly Kunitz that's 40+ goals just from them 2, then add in the PP time with Malkin/Letang. I can't wait for Bodog to get there props I don't have a 5dimes account. Would like to see the other Calder trophy odd's, prolly some good value out there not betting McDavid. I'd be hard pressed not to load up on him at +140 though but I don't think I will see that at my books.
The chemistry between Kessel and Crosby already looks undeniable. I agree that a point a game is not out of the question. And I know he’s been durable over the last few years but all it takes is one small trip to the IR to ruin this total. I’ll rail you on this one Feddz. Bring it home.

Thanks Vic
Eichel, Bennett, Domi, and Strome at first glance look like decent value, all 4 should see sheltered minutes vs. teams 2nd lines/pairings giving them better opportunity to excel but will still see PP time and possibly PP1 time. with the exception of Strome if he plays 5v5 with Tavares. Like you said in the above post all it takes is one injury(McDavid) and everybody else is a real live pooch.
From bodog, what a ripoff on McDavid. I knew it would be bad but I thought I'd atleast get even money, wont be laying that bet
Who will win the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s Rookie of the Year?
Connor McDavid (EDM)-175
Jack Eichel (BUF)+400
Sam Bennett (CAL)+700
Sam Reinhart (BUF)+900
Max Domi (ARI)+1200
Artemi Panarin (CHI)+1400
Nikolaj Ehlers (WPG)+1600
Dylan Strome (ARI)+1800
Mikko Rantanen (COL)+2000
Jake Virtanen (VAN)+2200
Pretty weak selection, disappointed with Bodog here, usually they have good options for trophy futures.
Also Bushay I agree with you, Larkin deserves to be there.
