Taking shots in NHL futures

Seeing some juicy value on the dogs here to win their conferences. Playing in neutral sites with no crowds will make it so random I'd take a shot at one of the lesser teams, don't see how you can back chalk even if they get a bye. I took the Jets at +2500 on Fan Duel and the Hurricanes at +2000 on Rivers. Crazy good value for teams that have recent experience making long runs in the playoffs. Who else do you guys like?

Yesterday, I took a shot on Rangers and Toronto. Odds were much higher than here. No reason to play chalk in what should be a crapshoot.

I got Vegas +550 to win the West - before the season began. Seeing what the playoffs will look like Vegas' road to the Finals just got a LOT tougher.

Under the usual format they would have faced the Blues OR Avs to make the WCF and would have faced them after the 2 played against each other (if seeding held up)

Now Vegas had to beat the Blues AND Avs to make the Finals and would have to face the Blues after playing what sure looks like a series of at least 6 games against the Avs including at least 3 games at altitude and maybe 4

Altitude? These are based on playing on neutral ice with no fans. Seems likely they might not even let a team play at their home in earlier rounds despite the lack of fans, with it likely the western teams get shipped east and the eastern teams get sent out west.

That's why I think it's crazy to back chalk now. Obviously nothing you can do about bets placed on past expectations.
