Flames Open With 40-1 Odds To Win 2016 Stanley Cup
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.
