00:00Pete, there's a couple of great markets there for the Futures for the hockey bettors.

00:07The Art Ross, in particular, most points going through the regular season.

00:12Nathan McKinnon, right now, top of the board there.

00:16Very similar to Offensive Player of the Year for the football bettors.

00:20Is it all about Nathan McKinnon?

00:22Could Connor McDavid, could that class prevail?

00:24What about Akuturov?

00:26What's the season expectations for a bit of a price there?

00:30I mean, it's crazy at the two-month mark of the season to see Martin Nietzsche on that

00:36board and only a couple points back of the lead.

00:39I know Nathan McKinnon had an enormous game yesterday with five points.

00:45Of course, Kirill Kaprizov is one of the frontrunners for the MVP, also in the mix for the Art Ross.

00:51Keep an eye on those numbers, like how the Art Ross compares to the Hart Trophy.

00:57You get the bigger number, you could also consider Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild have

01:01been one of the biggest surprises in the entire NHL this season.

01:06I feel like now that Colorado's getting healthy, McKinnon is the guy that's probably the safest

01:11pick to win the Art Ross, just because he has Rantanen, Kael McCarr.

01:16He's got all those other guys, whether he's playing with Colton or Nachuskin or Leckinen

01:20or middle stat on the power play.

01:23It's what I was echoing from before about the avalanche.

01:26They're alive for all these different individual stat awards based on performance strictly.

01:33And then McKinnon won the Hart Trophy last year, wouldn't be surprised if he ran away

01:38with this thing if he won it again, because of how he...

01:41You could spin the narrative, right?

01:43Colorado was expected to be really good, but they were really down in the dumps the first

01:47month, month or two of the season with all those injuries around McKinnon.
