00:00As we look at the big board here with four teams left, it gets a lot tougher.
00:04You know, we don't have that quote-unquote value that you have when the playoffs start.
00:08And, you know, it's hard now.
00:10You know, Florida and Dallas are the favorites because, you know,
00:12they're pretty close to playing each other in this last series.
00:15125 and 190 for the two of them.
00:17Edmonton at 370.
00:19Carolina now at 10-1, down 0-2.
00:22Your thoughts on the big board?
00:24Yeah, I think it's pretty straightforward.
00:26And, you know, we were just discussing things during break.
00:29Like, the best way to go about it is probably to look to one of these alternate markets,
00:33which would be the direct outcome market.
00:35It would be like, okay, you like Dallas over Florida.
00:37You like Florida over Dallas, whatever it might be.
00:39And that's where you're going to be getting a better price.
00:41I'm not going to say it's like some dramatic price.
00:43But if you are looking for Florida over Dallas, you do get it at plus 240,
00:47which is factually better than the plus 125.
00:49It's not some dramatic jump up that you're going to be getting insane value.
00:53But that's the way to go about it.
00:54I would say it also depends on, again, do you have futures in play, whatever it might be.
00:58So, I think that's a fun way to go about it.
01:00And then you could also hedge out when you get to the series.
01:03You get to game five, game six.
01:04If one team's in the spot to close it out, you can take the other side of it.
01:07And you may not come out positive, but you can still come out net even.
01:10Right.
01:10And that, for me, is where you start to look at, you say alternate things to look at.
01:16But the Conn Smythe trophy, which at this point has been up since the playoffs started.
01:22The bigger numbers are gone, obviously, on some of these favorite teams.
01:26Rantanen now is sitting there at the top of the board, followed by Bobrovsky and then Connor McDavid and then Ottinger.
01:32Still a good number on Ottinger, honestly, too, if you like the stars.
01:36I know that Rantanen's had such a big playoff that it's probably hard to get away.
01:40But, you know, all you are is a Stanley Cup final away from Ottinger having two shutouts, you know, potentially against Florida.
01:47And suddenly, and Rantanen not scoring.
01:49And it's a very recency bias sometimes type of award on what's happened lately.
01:54For me, though, Tom, when I look at that, it's Bobrovsky because of the price.
01:59Because I don't know who else on Florida would get at this point.
02:02And you're talking almost two bucks more when you look at the Florida's Cup price and the Bobrovsky-Conn Smythe price.
02:07Right. I also think it comes down to Sam Reinhardt was hurt last night.
02:12Lower body injury. Did not return.
02:15And he's great. Great goal scorer.
02:17Bennett, you know, Barkov, Verhage.
02:19Obviously, Verhage has like 50 points in 59 career playoff games or whatever it is.
02:23Like any of those players could win.
02:25But at a certain point, if they win it and all those players are somewhat the same,
02:28they're just somewhat going to default to Bobrovsky.
02:31Especially when he's played this well.
02:32And it's not just this well in the Carolina series.
02:34He was great when he needed to be in the first two series.
02:37So, it is a better price.
02:39And like I said, I have a ticket on Dallas at 7.5 to 1.
02:42I may have to take a piece of Bobrovsky as some of a hedge.
02:45Because if they win, it's going to be Bobrovsky.
02:48Yeah. And I wouldn't wait too much longer.
02:50Because yesterday was like 570 yesterday.
02:55And then they won last night to go up 2-0.
02:58And you see it dropped into the 300s.
03:00So, it's because he also had another shutout last night too.
03:04So, that's also not sure if you saw this.
03:05This was the third straight May 22nd that he had a shutout in conference playoffs.
03:11Third straight May 22nd that he's had it.
03:13Third straight May 22nd that he's had it.
