Last season Pittsburgh opened the season around +1000 while Nashville was around +4000. For what it’s worth, heading into next season the Flyers, Jets and Islanders opened with those same +4000 odds to lift the Cup. A couple teams listed right ahead at +3300 (Flames and Panthers) are also worthy of keeping an eye on this offseason.
This will be an interesting year since teams lost players to the Vegas expansion draft. There were also a number of moves in free agency including Patrick Marleau to the Leafs, Marcus Johansson to the Devils and Kevin Shattenkirk to the Rangers.
We’ll be updating odds throughout the season so be sure to check back in.
