00:00it's probably a minus 140 favorite a plus 320 favorite look at this the avalanche plus 350
00:05the golden knights plus 430 the oilers plus 460 and the jets at a plus 470 price talk to me about
00:10those top four teams and how lumped together they are and truly shows how competitive that
00:15western conference playoff is going to be yeah absolutely if i were to give you the top 10 teams
00:20in the league i think i'd have seven from the western conference and you can make a case for
00:24any of these teams i just mentioned the blues like even when they won the stanley cup they were
00:28the worst team in the league when the calendar flipped to whatever year that was 2018 2019
00:33they went on a run and won the stanley cup and i wouldn't be shocked um but you know i would say
00:40after colorado the vegas golden knights have a pretty decent path i like the minnesota wild they
00:44have struggled over the past couple months they've gotten a little bit healthier lately with caprice
00:48off and you'll erickson back in the lineup but vegas is just a couple years removed from winning
00:52the stanley cup and you know i like their path after the minnesota wild you know la and ed
00:58edmonton it's i think that's a little bit of an easier matchup having to avoid colorado
01:03and dallas but uh i think the team here with the the best value maybe the kings guys at plus 750 and
01:10i know this is round four in a row against the edmonton oilers and you know connor mcdavid and
01:16leon dry settle those are two guys that it's really hard to pick against but there's two reasons in
01:21particular why i like this la team one they're finally going to have home ice advantage they haven't
01:25in the past against the oilers they're the best home team in the league and number two is the
01:29goaltending you look at darcy kemper he leads the nhl in high danger save percentage using our edge
01:34stats over to nhl.com fantasy and you look at kemper since january 1st he's tied for number one
01:41in wins he's number one in save percentage he's number one in goals against average he's tied for
01:45first in shutouts he's allowed two or fewer goals guys in 25 of his past 33 games and two or fewer in 16
01:51of his last 17 so he's red hot at the moment and i look at the oilers goaltending not so much we may
01:57see stewart skinner and calvin pickard mentioned the high danger save percentage those two goalies
02:02well below the league average and i don't think the oilers are fully healthy at the moment no
02:06at home for the rest of the way so the kings are at home and they're dogs and i think that they can go
02:11on a bit of a run
