Everyone has their opinion on who will be/should be the first pick in the NHL All-Star fantasy draft. That’s nice, but let’s be real: who cares about who goes first? Everyone also has an opinion on who will go last. It’s just a little more evil.
It really shouldn’t really come as a shocker that Ottawa Senators (and Daniel Alfredsson’s teammate) Erik Karlsson is favored to go first. Likewise, it doesn’t really come as any surprise that agitator, turned goal scorer extraordinaire Scott Hartnell is favorite to win the Phil Kessel Memorial Award. Did you know that there are 2/1 odds that the Sedins will play on the same team; or that there are 1/2 odds that Daniel Alfredsson will select a Maple Leaf for his team? Good times…
Here are the odds for both first and last for this year’s fantasy draft courtesy of the people over at bovada.lv (formerly Bodog). Go nuts…
