Ducks at 25:1, for me.
Re: Current Stanley Cup Odds
The reason they have the Devils with better odds than those teams is because the chance the Devils actually make the playoffs are very good. Odds are 2 of the 3 between LA, ANA, and MIN won't even have a shot of winning a cup because they'll be watching the post season from their couch. Gotta get there before you even have a shot of winning it....

Re: Current Stanley Cup Odds
I actually think it would be worth it to put $5 on both ANA and LA.
Both have a good home schedule coming up. ANA has played 28h/33a so far. LA has played 26h/34a so far.
So both will be resting closer to their areans in March/April to freshen up.
The West (unlike the East, which will be a power5: TB, BOS, TOR, WAS, PIT) will be wide-open once the playoffs start.
I think Vegas will give Nashville the nod once the top 8 is set - their experience makes them a fave in the West, IMO.
Young teams near top seeds often crumble first round, so I'm anti-Vegas, anti-Jets.
And that makes whoever finishes around the 1/2/3 and does NOT get Nashville, a good investment.
St.Louis has been falling hard.
I actually think ANA & LA both qualify at 5-6-7 range.
Pengs $20 as of today:
$5 on Nashville
$5 on effin Pittsburgh
$5 on ANA
$5 on LA
