The 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs are now complete, with the Chicago Blackhawks capturing the Stanley Cup. The completion of the Cup Final officially ends the 2014-15 calendar, and brings with it the beginning of the run-up to the 2015-16 season.
And one interesting part of that is the announcement by the sports books of the betting odds for the 2016 Stanley Cup winners. The Blackhawks have predictably opened as 7-1 favourites, but the Calgary Flames aren’t too far behind (all things considered), opening at 40-1 odds.
Here are the full odds in order, courtesy of Bovada:
  • 7-1: Chicago
  • 8-1: NY Rangers
  • 10-1: Anaheim
  • 12-1: St. Louis & Tampa Bay
  • 14-1: Los Angeles, Minnesota, Montreal & Pittsburgh
  • 16-1: Boston & Nashville
  • 18-1: Washington
  • 22-1: NY Islanders
  • 25-1: Winnipeg
  • 33-1: Columbus, Detroit & Edmonton
  • 40-1: Calgary, San Jose & Vancouver
  • 50-1: Ottawa
  • 66-1: Colorado, Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia & Toronto
  • 75-1: Florida
  • 100-1: Arizona, Buffalo & Carolina
For the curious, the Flames opened last season as 75-1 underdogs to win it all (tied with Buffalo & Florida for dirt-worst), while the Blackhawks were 7-1 favourites.
