It's hard to believe it's been a little over 3 months since the Colorado Avalanche won the 3rd Stanley Cup in franchise history. They were able to take down the Tampa Bay Lightning and their quest for a 3-peat. Since then a lot of moves have been made in the offseason and the preseason has already gotten underway. The start of the regular season is fast-approaching, which begins on Friday, October 7th with an opening game in Prague, Czech Republic. The first games in the states will start just a few days later on Tuesday, October 11. That means it's time to get in our futures bets and we've found the best value for this season's Stanley Cup winner.
