NYI ML fair value at +108 vs estimated market -105 pricing; no edge on either side
FULL ANALYSIS
Habs gutted without Anderson/Dach/Laine (est -22% offense from missing 25% scoring), Isles down depth players but Horvat/Barzal duo intact vs Habs' thin blue line. Lower scoring spot with 8 total IRs across both; model sees Isles ML +EV at current fair pricing. NHL variance high but injury edges durable (historical +9% ROI on multi-top6 out).
