    Default Gambling Odds

    The Penguins are favorites in the East at 8:1.
    Canucks favorites in West at 9:1.

    What say you about the teams? Who benefits from a shortened season and who benefits from having the most Russians in game shape from the KHL? Who would you HONESTLY (not fanhood based) place your money on as the Stanley Cup Champions and why?

    i saw the blues were listed at 18:1 odds.
    seems like a good bet to me.

    the thing with odds is that they take into account public perceptions and tendancies. they are not strictly based on the actual quality of a team.

    I'm a huge Blues fan, but with most of our guys working out on their own this extended off season and not going overseas, I wonder how that will play out into season performance

    If the Blues are at 18:1, they are a very good bet. They have a very solid balanced team. A great pairing in net that will not suffer from a compressed schedule, a lot of young legs on D who can move the puck very well and at least 3 scoring lines up front who also play great in their own end.

    As for other teams, I like the Pens and Bruins to be solid from the get go in the East while I think teams like the Devils and the Lightning might struggle early. In the West, the Kings, with all the extra rest, should be very solid and I think the Hawks should be dangerous as well.

    So fun to talk real hockey now that the lockout is over!

    Won't these all heavily depend on what the schedule's look like?

    Yeah it is.
    I would think the Oilers would be a team to watch. They probably won't be favored in any of their early games due to public perception, but a lot of their guys have continued to play together this offseason. Might be a good ML to ride early on.

    Here are the odds posted at bovado:
    http://sports.bovada.lv/sports-betti...ey-futures.jsp

    Pittsburgh Penguins 8/1
    New York Rangers 17/2
    Vancouver Canucks 9/1
    Los Angeles Kings 12/1
    Philadelphia Flyers 12/1
    Chicago Blackhawks 14/1
    Boston Bruins 16/1
    Detroit Red Wings 16/1
    St. Louis Blues 16/1
    Minnesota Wild 18/1
    San Jose Sharks 20/1
    Carolina Hurricanes 22/1
    Washington Capitals 22/1
    Buffalo Sabres 25/1
    Edmonton Oilers 25/1
    Toronto Maple Leafs 25/1
    Nashville Predators 28/1
    Tampa Bay Lightning 28/1
    Montreal Canadiens 30/1
    New Jersey Devils 30/1
    Anaheim Ducks 40/1
    Colorado Avalanche 40/1
    Dallas Stars 40/1
    Florida Panthers 40/1
    Ottawa Senators 40/1
    Phoenix Coyotes 40/1
    Calgary Flames 50/1
    Winnipeg Jets 50/1
    New York Islanders 66/1
    Columbus Blue Jackets 100/1

    Some that stick out at me are Edmonton and Toronto are absolutely terrible value at 25/1, and I'm an Oilers fan. They were 2nd last last year and the question is can they make the playoffs.
    Boston seems like good value at 16/1 this is a team that was a 2 seed last year and even though Thomas is gone they have Rask.

    Also, if you are dead set on making a futures pick shop around the different online sportsbooks because lines can vary greatly and you might as well get top value for your money.

    You would think that a team who hasn't made the playoffs since 2004 would be close to the bottom of the list.
