As soon as the clock hit 0:00, all of the <strong>NHL<\/strong> started thinking about the 2018-19 season and how they could raise the cup. The sportsbooks are no different in that regard, as they have already released the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsshark.com\/nhl\/stanley-cup-futures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> odds for the Stanley Cup<\/a> winners. Which teams present the best value as of right now?<\/p>\n<p>The first two things that jump off of the odds page are the fact that the Tampa Bay Lightning are the favorite to win the Cup at 9:1 and that the <strong>Edmonton<\/strong> <strong>Oilers<\/strong> have the 7th best odds right behind the Penguins and Capitals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tampa<\/strong> as the favorite is not terribly shocking as they were one of the best teams all season last year and they return basically the entire team. If the <strong>Lightning<\/strong> stay healthy, the top spot is warranted. Edmonton\u2019s odds, on the other hand, seem bizarre based on their 36-40 record and 6th place finish in their division. Neither team provides enough value to bet upon.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the success of <strong>Vegas<\/strong> this past season, it might be enticing to pick a longshot to win the <strong>Cup<\/strong> and hope for some magic. There are 9 teams that are 60:1 or greater to win it all. Betting on any of them is a waste of money. Forced to pick one,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportingnews.com\/nhl\/news\/john-tavares-rumors-2018-free-agents-islanders-contract-extension-lou-lamoriello\/1fb4pub53e3416510s8x3ocg5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> the <strong>Islanders<\/strong> have the most talent if they can keep John Tavares, but even that is not a given.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rather than take an exceptional long shot, there are 6 teams who made the playoffs last year who are currently between 25:1 and 40:1. <strong>Columbus<\/strong> and <strong>Philadelphia<\/strong> are both 25:1 and are intriguing. The Kings, Avalanche, Devils, and Wild are all either 30 or 40:1. Minnesota and Columbus are the most complete teams and are both worth a bet at 30:1 and 25:1 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The eventual champion most likely comes from one of the teams that is currently priced between 10:1 and 12:1. That group includes <strong>Toronto (10:1), Winnipeg (10:1), Boston (11:1), Vegas (11:1), Nashville (11:1), Pittsburgh (12:1), and Washington (12:1).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is nearly impossible to repeat as champion, despite <strong>Pittsburgh\u2019s<\/strong> recent back-to-back runs in 2016 and 17. With that in mind, Vegas and Washington are not worth a bet. <strong>Toronto<\/strong> is a year or two early and they do not have the elite defensemen required of a Cup run.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining four teams are split between the <strong>Eastern<\/strong> and <strong>Western<\/strong> <strong>Conferences<\/strong> in Boston, Pittsburgh, Winnipeg and Nashville. The Flyers exposed a gigantic hole in Matt Murray\u2019s glove side, and the Penguins defense was sloppy in the playoffs. They are also an older team, which decreases the chances of a deep run.<\/p>\n<p>Both <strong>Winnipeg<\/strong> and <strong>Nashville<\/strong> had tremendous seasons and fantastic home ice advantages. The Jets came out of nowhere, but have a mountain of young talent, which indicates that their success may be sustainable. Nashville has also proven to be a strong team, and they have been to the Stanley Cup finals. It does not make sense to bet on both teams unless their odds get longer.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Winnipeg<\/strong> <strong>Jets<\/strong> appear built for the future and are younger than <strong>Nashville<\/strong>.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.philly.com\/philly\/sports\/flyers\/philadelphia-flyers-nhl-free-agency-ron-hextall-paul-stastny-possible-targets-20180614.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> If they can re-sign Paul Stastny, they are a strong bet at 10:1.<\/a> Likewise, the Boston Bruins at 11:1 have the talent and goaltending to win the championship.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to take a shot in the dark, then the Islanders at 60:1 are the best pick. Columbus and Minnesota have been to the playoffs and offer payouts in the 25:1 range. <strong>Winnipeg<\/strong> and <strong>Boston<\/strong> represent the best value of any of the title contenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following the Washington Capitals winning it all.
