FULL ANALYSIS
Vancouver missing starting goalie Demko and top-6 forward DeBrusk, but market has already adjusted to -230 on Vegas. Whale signals and prediction markets align with Vegas, but no clear edge remains. Spread and total offer no value. Best to pass this game.
SHARP MONEY
Whale volume $35,983 on away (strong tier), prediction market 68.5% away, but market line already reflects this; whale confidence only 54% (split).
