Pens are the favorites at +464, Detroit is runner up at +674.  Sharks are +831 and Bruins +975.  Those are the four faves at this point.  I'd post the entire lines, but it doesn't post well on here..

Some good values I see:

Caps at +1494. Close to 15-1 on the Caps?  I'm tempted here... this should be closer to 10-1 IMO.  If they can get their tending sorted out, they could go deep this year.

Flyers +1721.  Another team I can see going deep into the playoffs.  A bit surprised the line is that high, I figured it would be closer to 12-1.  Don't count out the Flyers this year.

Flames +2188.  At close to 22-1, the Flames are worth a look.  You can never count out a Sutter coached team.   You can bet they will work hard all year, and hard work often brings good results.

Blues +4780.  Ok, I don't see them winning the cup or getting to the finals, but I think we are going to see a much improved team this year... they will make the postseason I believe, and then you can start hedging against it.  At a big price at close to 48-1, it has to be considered.

Leafs +8282.  Ok, I might put $10 on the Leafs just because I'm a fan... ok, I kid, I won't put a dime on them... maybe in a couple years.

Thoughts?

One word of advice to all: Remember Sundin taking a long time to decide where he wanted to play, this guy is a veteran and is alot more knowledgable than you or i

But he's never won a cup. I'm not a fan, but the value with the Flames is there now that they've added Bouwmeester.

more value on the flyers, caps, and redwings IMO

Redwings will make it to the finals again, most likely vs washington or the flyers, i just dont see the pens making it that far again...

I pretty much agree with Sports_Rookie and I'm a Penguins fan. my Pennies will be good BUT we lost probably too much on D in the offseason to repeat. Flyers and Capitals look like the plays IF their goaltending holds up.

as for the Red Wings, they are always going to be there BUT I'm leaning toward the Ducks in the west.

has everyone forgot about the Sharks, or bruins and maybe even the Blackhawks.....But my cystal ball is telling me that Sweden is going to loss to Canada in the gold medal game this year at the Olympics, and the sweeds are going to get their pay back winning Vancouver the cup. It's Luongo's year this year, Gold Medal and Stanley Cup. Just like Dominik Hasek did with the czech and detroit.

365 has ana. @ 19.00. I like waiting to about 20 games into the season, did the same thing last year the odds don't change much.
