00:00Pete, updated Western Conference finals odds here to be the winner.

00:06The Edmonton Oilers sit there at a plus 190 price, the Avalanche plus 240, the Stars at

00:11plus 280, and the Canucks at 7-1.

00:13So four teams under 10-1, followed up by the Golden Knights at 19-1, and the Predators

00:18at 25-1.

00:20How are we looking at this new look here with the Oilers at that plus 190 price?

00:24Yeah, I'm not completely—I picked them to win the Cup in the preseason.

00:28And again, I still have some concerns.

00:32To me, Colorado, the way they dismantled Winnipeg, I was really big on Winnipeg and their structure

00:38and their goaltending.

00:39Connor Hellebuck's probably going to win the Vezina Trophy, but he gave up five-plus goals

00:44in all five games against the Jets and lost four straight.

00:48Pretty mind-boggling stuff there.

00:50To me, Colorado, regardless of who they play, they lost to Dallas in the playoffs a couple

00:55years ago.

00:56And then the year before they won the Cup, remember, they lost, I think, four straight

00:59to the Golden Knights and kind of fell apart at the seams.

01:03So they'll have extra motivation regardless of who they play.

01:06And I think whichever team comes out of the Vegas-Dallas series might be limping a bit

01:11because that's going to be a battle.

01:12So Colorado, to me, based on what I've seen, might be the best team in the whole league.

01:17But we'll see if their depth stands up.
