With the 2022-23 NHL season quickly approaching, we'll look at potential bets involving a vastly improved team, a playoff MVP, and a goaltender looking to build on an excellent second half. Read on for our bold and long-shot NHL predictions.

Goaltender Thatcher Demko backstopped the Vancouver Canucks into an exciting playoff race last season, establishing himself as a fringe top-10 NHL goalie in the process. Will 2022-23 be the season he bursts into the league's upper echelon?
Finally, a rebuilding Ottawa Senators squad added a pair of impact players this offseason. Will these key additions be enough to push them back into the postseason picture?
