Letang at 20/1 for the Norris is a great bet, if you want to take a chance on health, being as he was a front-runner through 69 (nice) games last season before getting injured.

Phil Kessel getting 3rd best odds for the goal scoring title is nice too, and I like the play for Crosby at 16/1. This is a guy who did score 50, lest we forget, and Kessel will be passing just as much as he's shooting. Plus with Crosby in a new role in the new look Pens power-play, I think it's possible he pops in a few more goals than normal. Ovechkin's the smart pick, but with decent odds a few shekels on Sid there isn't a bad play.
