Best and Worst NHL Futures: Early Edition

Oct 11- 8 min read

With the NHL preseason over and the regular season beginning Tuesday, there’s lots of hype surrounding which teams are contenders or pretenders, which goalies are looking to carry their team on their back, and which players are the top of their class. Everyone has their opinions, and while most people are adamant that they’re correct, very few are willing to put their money where their mouth is. We’re here to help you make the most out of your hot takes and find the best bets for NHL futures to make heading into the 2021/22 season.
