BLT Bets Ep. 12 – NHL Future After Free Agency

The BLT Bets boys are back after a week away from the gambling world. The NHL’s silly season is in full swing, so there was only one topic Tyler, Liam, and Baggedmilk could talk about today.

NHL Free Agency got underway on Wednesday, with almost all the top players available now off the market. Johnny Gaudreau is a Blue Jacket, the Washington Capitals signed Darcy Kuemper, and the Detroit Red Wings locked in pretty much every good player on the market. With all those players now on new teams, how did they affect the NHL Futures odds board? Tyler, Baggedmilk, and Liam dove into the future, betting rabbit hole to see what they could find.

Tyler discussed the best value pick to win the Stanley Cup next spring. Many of the top contenders in the NHL got slightly worse; however, the one team Tyler values so highly signed a starting goaltender and potential 40-plus goal scorer. Despite those two significant signings, this team only comes in at +1500. After that, they talked about which teams could be a good long-shot bet to win the cup.

Of course, we are in the midst of baseball season, and while the Blue Jays have been making us all suffer recently, there is some value to be found elsewhere. You can now find bets on who the next Blue Jays manager will be, which the guys discussed. Also, the MLB home run derby is right around the corner, and Tyler explains how to bet on it.
