We're in the fourth day of the NHL offseason, so what better time to start looking ahead to the odds for the 2010 Stanley Cup winners. Bodog.com recently came out with next season's odds, and the Detroit Red Wings are at the top of the list as the favorites at 5/1. The Penguins are currently second at 7/1. The New York Islanders are the longest shot at 100/1. After the jump, the current odds for every team in the NHL:
Detroit Red Wings: 5/1
Pittsburgh Penguins: 7/1
San Jose Sharks: 8/1
Boston Bruins: 9/1
Chicago Blackhawks: 10/1
Washington Capitals: 10/1
Vancouver Canucks: 15/1
Philadelphia Flyers: 16/1
New Jersey Devils: 18/1
Calgary Flames: 20/1
Anaheim Ducks: 22/1
Carolina Hurricanes: 25/1
New York Rangers: 25/1
Dallas Stars: 30/1
Montreal Canadiens: 30/1
Minnesota Wild: 35/1
St. Louis Blues: 35/1
Buffalo Sabres: 40/1
Columbus Blue Jackets: 40/1
Edmonton Oilers: 40/1
Florida Panthers: 40/1
Ottawa Senators: 45/1
Nashville Predators: 50/1
Los Angeles Kings: 60/1
Toronto Maple Leafs: 60/1
Colorado Avalanche: 70/1
Atlanta Thrashers: 80/1
Tampa Bay Lightning: 80/1
Phoenix Coyotes: 85/1
New York Islanders: 100/1
But, hey, if you feel like placing a bet on the Calgary Flames (and at 20/1, who wouldn't!) more power to you. Before you do, however, make sure you take a look at Bodog's odds for this year's Stanley Cup released back in August. Yes, the Penguins and Red Wings were once again at the top (again, not exactly going out on a limb), but the rest of the favorites? Yikes.

Hey John, In the last 18 years they have said that every time the Wings have failed to win the cup (14 of them). But its just wishfull thinking, if anything they have more tallent coming in next year than going out.
Only the NHL fans that want the Wings to fail can't see that, like you. But look at the odds, the Pens just won the cup and the odds are in the Wings favor 5 days later for next year.
So for the very slow like yourself let me put it in terms you can understand: Only 1 out of 30 teams win the cup each year and the Wings are picked to do it again next year.
