Cale Makar to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (+900)
2026 Conn Smythe Trophy winner · You Better You Bet, 2026-05-05 · ·

“And McCarr, who won the Conn Smythe in 22 when Colorado won, is plus 900. The goalie Wedgwood is at 22 to 1. Do you have a Conn Smythe thought for us, Mr. Bernstein? I do. I don't like that short price on McKinnon. If you think Colorado's going to win, play McCarr. Get for twice the price. And he's scoring goals. Like he scored two goals the other night. So that's the play I would make.”

Carolina's Jordan Staal won the 2026 Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after the Hurricanes' Cup-clinching win over Vegas; Cale Makar did not win it (NHL.com).

“Dennis, who wins tonight's Game 7, Edmonton or Florida, and does the game go over or under five and a half goals? It goes over. I picked the Oilers in six. I'm sticking with them because people say there's no momentum from game to game. But Ken laid it down. Look, there is momentum. Look at the series. Come on. But, Nick, it's going to go past 60 minutes. We're going to go to overtime in game seven. Great. That's my amazing plan. Over five and a half, probably fourth overtime. And pick your guy.”

Panthers 2, Oilers 1 — The Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in Game 7, so the Oilers moneyline lost.

Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers — Stanley Cup Final game 6 · You Better You Bet, 2024-06-19 · ·

“You like Edmonton in game six? I do. I was there for game four, and people have joked with me, because the Kings have played the Oilers the last three times in the playoffs, and I've been there for all the playoffs. At non-Edmonton media, I've been in a building more than anybody in the last five years. It was so loud, and I can't imagine how loud it's going to be for game six when they were down 3-1. And here's the thing. The game was over. Game three, game four, they win. Outside the building, they're celebrating like they won the Stanley Cup. If they equal this to 3-3, it's going to be so hard for the Panthers to overcome that because it's not like they've played well and they've lost two games. They haven't played well. That's the issue I've got with the Panthers right now. They haven't deserved to win those games. The Oilers didn't lock out. They dominated them in four, and they outplayed them in five. That's my concern. If I'm a Panthers fan, I'm sweating. Yeah, I might get another home game. But if they win three in a row, why can't they win four in a row? And it's only been done, as we've talked about, 1942 Maple Leafs. So I love the Edmonton-New Orleans tomorrow night, Friday night. I really do. I think they have an momentum, and they're playing so well. And there's a dominant player showing why he's the dominant generational player right now.”

5-1 — Edmonton beat Florida 5-1 in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, so the Oilers moneyline won (ESPN).

Evan Bouchard anytime goal scorer (+340)
Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers — Stanley Cup Final game 3 · You Better You Bet, 2024-06-13 · ·

“Dennis, any players that you would target tonight for props on either side? Do you like anybody tonight? I'm going to go again at this, PJ. Evan Bouchard and his Bush bomb from the blue line. If the play's going to get going, he's going to get one. So that would be the guy I would go with. And the guy who's been Mr. Clutch, who has a clutch team for the Florida Panthers, go with him again, Carter Verhage. You know, Sam Marainan hasn't been great. You mentioned Barkoff. He hasn't really done anything. Evan Rodriguez came out of nowhere and really won the game for them the other night. So I'm going to go with Evan Bouchard anytime goal. And I'll go with Carter Verhage because he's such a clutch player for the Florida Panthers. Verhage, plus 200 anytime goal tonight. Evan Bouchard plus 340 anytime goal. And Bouchard's got to make it up to his teammates after like that,”

FLA 4, EDM 3 — Evan Bouchard did not score in Florida's 4-3 win over Edmonton in Game 3 (ESPN box score). (Evan Bouchard: 0 goals)

“Dennis, who wins tonight's game? We know you like the under. Who wins tonight in game three and why? Nick, I don't want an NBA finals on my hands. So I got to say the Evington Oilers. Do you believe that? No, I do. I do. I think, first of all, it's going to be a madhouse. If people are a casual viewer, tune in and watch Oak Canada in this building tonight. It's going to be unbelievable, the noise. 19,000 people singing. The atmosphere is going to be electric. You'll be able to feel it through the TV. This is it for them. I've got to think that Conor and Leon and the rest of them find a way to make this a series. They haven't been outplayed that poorly, so I've got to think they find a way tonight, Nick. So, yeah, part of it's my heart that I want to have a competitive series, but part of it is that there's not much to separate these teams, even though the Florida Panthers are up 2-0. So I do like the under, but I also do like the Oilers to find a way tonight.”

FLA 4, EDM 3 — Edmonton lost Game 3 to Florida 4-3; the Oilers moneyline busts (ESPN box score).
