Get more than 35 goals at least once in his life? At 7:1 odds? I bet my life savings on that and make you go bankrupt. Even if you're just talking about the next full season, those are still great odds.
Next bet:
At least 5 of the next 10 Norris trophies will be won by any one of Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Drew Doughty, Alex Pietrangelo and Erik Karlsson.

Odds: 2-1
Eek, 4-5 is right around where I'd guess, but I'll take it.
The Caps make it to at least the ECF next year. 5:1 odds.
Leave it. It's close but 50 goals is extremely rare these days.
Chris Pronger plays another game in the NHL (5:2)
Take it. Haven't been fully updated on his health in the past few months, but the full year+ off and him being Pronger makes me believe we haven't seen the last of him.
Nash scores 40+ in his first season with NYR, 4:1.
Edit: This has probably been the best offseason/lockout thread of the year. Well done OP.

Leave it, he won't get as much playing time as he had in Columbus

A rookie scores 35 goals next season (5:1)
Leave it. Should be a very strong rookie class, but the last time a rookie scored 35+ goals was in 05/06 (Ovy and Crosby), and the league is quite a bit lower scoring now.
Max contract length in the new CBA is 6 years or less. 2:1 odds.

Take it, I think it'll be 5.
5:1 If the Czech Republic and Slovakia were still the same country, useing today's rosters, they could beat Team Canada in a 7 game series.
Take it. It won't happen after this season/lockout but they will part eventually (who knows, could be in 15 years), likely in the "mutually parting ways" department but at 10:1 I'll take he gets asked to leave.
There is NHL hockey played this season (1:2) **EDIT: That's -200 for those who might miss the inverted odds.**

Take it, even with bad odds. I just don't think the two sides are far enough apart enough to lose the entire season.
A North American player wins the 2012/13 Calder (assume there IS a season this year). 5:1 odds.
