Bodog provides odds for NHL team wins, which is weird

Maybe 3-on-3 OT will help shake this outlook, but it’s often tough to think about NHL seasons through the lens of wins.

It’s probably not even about the “charity point,” as ties threw things off before the shootout was ever instituted.

Anyway, long story short, it’s likely fair to say that the hockey world thinks about standings through points, not wins.

Pondering that standings category alone is something of a change of pace, and Bodog put out odds for the 2015-16 season, which Puck Daddy handily condensed into a list.

Again, considering wins alone is an odd yet refreshing change of pace, isn’t it?

What are some of the best bets? (Winnipeg, Buffalo and Florida seem interesting at a quick glance.)

Side note: in a lot of ways, Bodog’s win total odds largely parallel Bovada’s look at teams most likely to make the playoffs.
