Forerunners
We will first go over a few teams that have legitimate Stanley Cup aspirations. While it’s early in the season, these teams are all expected to make the playoffs.
Edmonton Oilers +1200
Edmonton’s hot start to the 2021-22 NHL season has attracted the bookmaker’s attention. With nine wins and two losses, Edmonton’s Stanley Cup odds have dropped from +2000 to +1200. The only Western Conference teams with shorter odds are the Aves at +600 and the Golden Knights at +800. Neither of those teams has been lighting it up early on. If you have faith in the Oilers, then you might want to jump on this now before it goes lower.
Carolina Hurricanes +1400
Like the Oilers, Carolina is off to a very hot start with 10 wins in their first 11 games. However, Carolina’s Stanley Cup odds haven’t dropped that much. Bookmakers now have them listed at +1400 after opening at +1500. This team has the horses and the price probably won’t get any better. Can you smell the value?
Colorado Avalanche +600
Expectations are high in Colorado. This is a team that should compete for a championship which is why bookies opened the Avalanche as the favourites to win the Cup in 2021-22. While they opened at +508, a mediocre start has forced the sportsbooks to price them at +600. Granted, this isn’t a seismic shift, but it sure looks a lot more tempting.
Tampa Bay Lightning +900
Any team that is looking for a third consecutive Stanley Cup is always worthy of a look. Tampa Bay opened with the third-lowest odds to win the Stanley Cup behind Colorado and Vegas. They opened at +646. Now, the Bolts are off to a half-decent start, but they definitely haven’t been playing their best hockey. Add in the fact that division rivals Florida, Toronto, and even Detroit are all playing well, and Tampa’s Stanley Cup odds go up to +900. Not a bad price for the reigning champ.
Dark Horses
Now we will turn our attention to two of the more interesting long shots. While these teams have low expectations, they still have high hopes.
Chicago Blackhawks +12500
To say this team has faced its share of turmoil over the first few weeks of the season would be an understatement. It looked like bookmakers had already written the Blackhawks off when they opened Chicago’s Stanley Cup odds at +6800. Those odds have now skyrocketed to +12500. Yes, 3 wins in their first 14 games has a lot to do with that. Still, this is a team that many believe can still turn things around.
Columbus Blue Jackets +10000
Bookmakers don’t appear to have put a lot of stock in Columbus’ 7-3-0-0 start. It probably has something to do with the stiff competition in the Eastern Conference. Yes, the Blue Jackets were horrible last year, but they are now free of John Tortorella and under the tutelage of a good ol’ Canadian boy in Brad Larsen. A small investment at +10000 could pay huge dividends.
