Here is the bovada odds for SC winner:
https://www.bovada.lv/sports/hockey/nhl
One can divide by 100 to get the odds.
Carolina at 30:1 is excellent... I think they are a borderline top 10 team in the NHL. That's a criminally low odds, that'll change to 20:1 over next few weeks.
Arizonta at 40:1 is not bad, but I don't think they can run a full playoffs, they could MAKE the playoff, but running 4 rounds is a different beast.
Anaheim at 80:1 and LA 80:1 are both possibilities.
ANA has the G & D... young forwards can always shoot out of nowhere, but it's damn hard to have a shot without some very solid D (& G).
If I was placing $20 on longshots:
$10 on CAR at 30:1
$5 on ANA at 80:1
$5 on LA at 80:1
Blackhawks, Devils, Predators and Capitals. I like Florida a lot but they are not under the radar team anymore.
Devils & Predators fan
