The market straightforwardly resolves to Yes if the Buffalo Sabres win the 2026-27 NHL championship. An early resolution clause dictates that the market will resolve to No as soon as the team is officially eliminated from contention. In the rare event the season is cancelled or delayed past June 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET without a declared winner, the market resolves to Other rather than Yes or No. The decider relies primarily on official NHL communications, with credible reporting permitted as a backup. A tie-break clause exists resolving alphabetically if multiple champions are declared, which is standard boilerplate but practically irrelevant for an NHL season.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed team is determined as the champion of the NHL for the 2026-27 season. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No". If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed participant to be named as the champion of NHL for the 2026-27 season per the rules of NHL (e.g., participant is eliminated), the corresponding market will resolve to "No". If multiple teams are declared winners, this market will resolve in favor of the team whose listed name comes first alphabetically. If this event is cancelled, postponed after June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or a champion has not been declared within this timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source will be official information from the NHL; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
