2024/25 NHL Stanley Cup contenders
It isn’t surprising to see Edmonton and Florida at the top of the odds board for this season’s Stanley Cup. The reigning conference champions and Stanley Cup winner re-tooled in the offseason and are poised to return to the playoffs where anything can happen.
Colorado currently holds the 3rd-best odds in the Western Conference to win the Stanley Cup. Any team with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen always has a chance. But the rest of the roster does not resemble much of the juggernaut Colorado has been recently. Vancouver, Nashville and Vegas, to name a few, all look deeper than Colorado at this stage.
