NHL predicted table FAQ

Who do the bookies predict to win the NHL?
CAR Hurricanes, with a 11% chance from the outright odds once the bookmakers' margin is taken out, ahead of COL Avalanche (10.3%) and FLO Panthers (8.8%). The odds move with every result, so this table changes through the season.
Which NHL team is doing better than the odds expect?
SEA Kraken sit 7th in the table, 21 places above the 28th the title odds rank them. At the other end, LA Kings are 31st, 15 places below their 16th in the odds.
How is the predicted table worked out?
Each team's price to win the NHL is averaged across the 2 bookmakers we compare, turned into a chance and scaled so all the chances add up to 100%, which takes the bookmakers' margin out. Teams are ranked by that chance; below a 1% title chance the prices say little, so those teams are ranked by the relegation odds where there are some. It is a reading of the market, not our prediction.
