Not all of them have been beneficial, but the Blackhawks have already made numerous off-season moves.
In NHL future odds at the Internet sportsbook, it could be that Pittsburgh and Washington get more action than the Hawks.
Sports Books odds list Pittsburgh and Washington at 6.5 to 1 to secure next year’s Stanley Cup. Because the Penguins have Sidney Crosby while the Capitals have Alex Ovechkin, each of those teams has a celebrity competitor. The Capitals also have a reputation of not winning in the playoffs however and until they lose that label they are going to be placed in the same category as San Jose. The Sharks choke in the playoffs after doing nicely in the normal season. San Jose is the 4th choice in NHL future odds at 12-1. San Jose ultimately got rid of goaltender Evgeni Nabokov so perhaps they can get some playoff victories. Now they might truly have some playoff results if they could only get rid of Joe Thornton.
The next 2 teams in NHL future odds are the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins at 14-1. The Bruins are not a significant Stanley Cup contender though they made a fantastic run last season. The Red Wings are always a risk and they have lots of expertise. Last year’s runner-up Philadelphia Flyers is next with odds of 15-1. The Philadelphia Flyers were fortunate only to make the playoffs, which was a major surprise last season, and repeating a run to the final is really unlikely in 2010-2011. The Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks will be showed with odds of 15-1. The only other team with odds of below 20-1 is the New Jersey Devils as they’re 18-1.
Underdogs for next season that might astonish include Buffalo at 24-1, Montreal at 25-1, Calgary at 28-1, Colorado and Ottawa at 30-1, Anaheim, Phoenix, St Louis and the New York Rangers at 35-1, Nashville at 40-1 and Tampa Bay at 45-1.
Carolina and Dallas at 50-1, Toronto at 60-1, Atlanta, Florida, Minnesota and Columbus at 65-1, Edmonton and the New York Islanders at 70-1 are true underdogs this year.
