Saturday September 19, 2026 (9:39 am EDT)

Connor Hellebuyck Next Team the Buffalo Sabres Odds: Payout $400 for Every $100 Bet - The oddsmakers at BetOnline Sports & Casino have set odds on when he will get traded and to which team.  When last we checked, Hellebuyck was favored to go to the Colorado Avalanche. That was just over a week ago.  Colorado is now at 9-1 odds (previously at 4-1) and it is Buffalo that comes in as the odds-on favorite at 4-1 odds.  Hellebuyck has publicly requested a trade and refused to report to training camp. Trade talks are currently in a holding pattern after a near-deal collapsed. The Sabres made a hard push for Connor Hellebuyck around the time of the 2026 NHL Draft.

Ed Sheeran Loop Tour · Number of Dates Cancelled Betting Market

Saturday September 19, 2026 (9:26 am EDT)

A major controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran's 2026 Loop Tour, and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is right in the middle of it after the recording artist Macklemore, one of the opening acts, made strongly pro-Palestinian statements, said “Free Palestine,” and performed his protest song Hind's Hall during the tour's Meadowlands show.  This generated considerable backlash. Critics, including some Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, argued that Macklemore had crossed the line from advocating for Palestinians into rhetoric they considered antisemitic. Macklemore has strongly rejected the idea that criticism of Israel or support for Palestinians is antisemitic.  Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and controls Gillette Stadium, who himself is Jewish, publicly acknowledged pushing for Macklemore's removal. Kraft said his objection wasn't to advocating for Palestinians but to what he characterized as Macklemore's history of antisemitic rhetoric.  Macklemore also stated that Kraft contacted other stadium owners to pressure the tour into keeping Macklemore from participating on the tour.  As a result, Kalshi began offering a betting market on Ed Sheeran Loop Tour · Number of Dates Cancelled with 80% of traders believing at least one tour will be cancelled and 50% believing at least two dates will be cancelled.
