Stanley Cup futures, awards tracker after first month; Week 5 rankings, mailbag

Pete and Rob are joined by Michael Leboff (@TheBigLeebowski) from The Action Network to discuss the biggest betting storylines around the NHL at the one-month mark of the season. The guys discuss the Oilers’ chances of winning the Stanley Cup, debate the three California teams’ playoff chances and discuss other surprises like the Red Wings and Blue Jackets plus some longshot award candidates from those teams, including John Gibson, Brent Burns, Troy Terry, Jeff Blashill, Brad Larsen, Cole Sillinger, Jonathan Dahlen and more. The crew also does a Stanley Cup futures update on the Golden Knights after the Jack Eichel trade and how their long-term upside compares to the Avalanche after Nathan MacKinnon’s injury. Other topics include Igor Shesterkin and Ilya Sorokin’s case for the Vezina and Hart trophies, whether to sell high on Burns in fantasy, the surprising value of Shayne Gostisbehere for the Coyotes and how Alex Ovechkin is playing like an MVP candidate once again.
