I threw a dart on the Florida Panthers to win the Eastern Conference and Stanley Cup late in the 2022-23 season as it looked like they needed a miracle to even make the playoffs.

I identified Roman Josi as a Norris Trophy candidate at +600 late in the 2021-22 season. He became the betting favorite after the season and despite finishing with 96 points - 10 more than Cale Makar - lost to the Avalanche defenseman by 1.28% of the vote.
