NHL: Stanley Cup Value Picks

Tomorrow the puck officials drops on the 2016-2017 season.  Yesterday we talked about the upcoming New York Rangers season, we are big time homers at AVS but we didn’t want to leave out the rest of the league.  Here are a few Stanley Cup value picks we like going into the year, not saying we are playing all of these but they caught my eye.  Lines are from my current book as of tonight. East  Rangers +1800 Well duh! Of course we like the Rangers at 18/1, as we mentioned yesterday there are several holes the Rangers need to fill Continue reading NHL: Stanley Cup Value Picks

More than a Game
