NHL Future Odds Available at the Sportsbook. The Blackhawks have already made a number of off-season moves but not all of them have been positive. It could be that Pittsburgh and Washington get more action than the Blackhawks in NHL future odds at the Internet sportsbook.
Sportsbook odds list Pittsburgh and Washington at 6.5 to 1 to win next year’s Stanley Cup. Each of those teams has a superstar player as the Penguins have Sidney Crosby while the Capitals have Alex Ovechkin. The Capitals have had a reputation of not winning in the playoffs though and until they shed that label they will be put in the same category as San Jose. The Sharks do well in the regular season and then choke in the playoffs. San Jose is the fourth choice in NHL future odds at 12-1. San Jose finally got rid of goaltender Evgeni Nabokov so perhaps they can get some playoff victories. Now if they could just get rid of Joe Thornton they might really have some playoff success.
The next two teams in NHL future odds are the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins at 14-1. The Bruins made a great run last season but they are not a serious Stanley Cup contender. The Red Wings have a lot of talent and they are always a threat. Last year’s runner-up Philadelphia Flyers is next with odds of 15-1. The Flyers were a huge surprise last season but they were lucky just to make the playoffs and repeating a run to the final is extremely unlikely in 2010-2011. The Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks are also listed with odds of 15-1. The only other team with odds of less than 20-1 is the New Jersey Devils as they are 18-1.
Long shots for next year that might surprise include Buffalo at 24-1, Montreal at 25-1, Calgary at 28-1, Colorado and Ottawa at 30-1, Anaheim, Phoenix, St. Louis and the New York Rangers at 35-1, Nashville at 40-1 and Tampa Bay at 45-1.
Real long shots include Carolina and Dallas at 50-1, Toronto at 60-1, Atlanta, Florida, Minnesota and Columbus at 65-1, Edmonton and the New York Islanders at 70-1.
