2024-25 NHL Stanley Cup Power Rankings

32. San Jose Sharks

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +40000

Chicago White Sox: "We are the worst franchise in professional sports."

San Jose Sharks: "Hold my $18 beer."

2. Edmonton Oilers

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +850

The Edmonton Oilers were within one game of hoisting the Stanley Cup last season. It could all come together for Connor McDavid and company in 2024-25.

3. Dallas Stars

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1100

The Dallas Stars have been edged out in the past three Western Conference Finals. This could be their breakout campaign.

3. Toronto Maple Leafs

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1500

Given their underwhelming playoff history, it's easy to dismiss the Toronto Maple Leafs as Stanley Cup contenders. But we like their chances this season.

5. Colorado Avalanche

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1100

The Colorado Avalanche are just three seasons removed from their Stanley Cup win. All the pieces are their for their second championship in four years.

6. Vegas Golden Knights

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1400

The Vegas Golden Knights have amassed a Stanley Cup caliber roster. If they stay healthy, the Knights could go on a run.

7. Carolina Hurricanes

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1400

Rod Brind'Amour has the Carolina Hurricanes in contention every year. They can exorcise their playoff demons this year.

8. New York Rangers

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1300

The class of the Metropolitan Division, the New York Rangers need their best players to step up in the playoffs.

9. Vancouver Canucks

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2300

This Vancouver Canucks squad is much closer to Stanley Cup contention than their betting odds imply.

10. New Jersey Devils

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1100

Bettors are expecting bigger things from the New Jersey Devils this season, installing them near the top of the Stanley Cup futures board. Still, they have some maturing to do in the postseason.

11. Los Angeles Kings

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2300

As usual, the Los Angeles Kings are tailor-made for postseason success. They just need to find a way to get past the Edmonton Oilers in Round 1.

12. Boston Bruins

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1800

Perennial contenders, the Boston Bruins have fallen short of their regular season success come playoff time.

13. Winnipeg Jets

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2600

If and when the Winnipeg Jets win the Stanley Cup, Connor Hellebuyck will inevitably be named the Conn Smythe winner. Parlay those wagers for a maximum payday.

14. Tampa Bay Lightning

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1700

Years of trading away first-round draft picks is eroding the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup aspirations. But the window is still open a crack.

15. Ottawa Senators

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +3600

If the Ottawa Senators can play a full 82-game schedule, rather than just turning things on at the end of the year, they could be legitimate Stanley Cup contenders.

16. Nashville Predators

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +1600

The Nashville Predators have mortgaged long-term sustainability for a win-now approach. It all still has to come together on the ice, though.

17. Patrick Roy

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +4400

Arguably the best value on the Stanley Cup futures board, the New York Islanders could thrive with Patrick Roy behind the bench for an entire season.

18. Minnesota Wild

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +2500

The sum of the pieces is greater than the whole. Nevertheless, the Minnesota Wild could surprise in 2024-25.

19. Detroit Red Wings

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5000

The Detroit Red Wings came up just short last season, but they have building blocks in place for this year and beyond.

20. Buffalo Sabres

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5500

The perpetual rebuild is not going to plan for the Buffalo Sabres. Still, they could be better than advertised this season.

21. Pittsburgh Penguins

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +5000

Kyle Dubas's shotgun approach will leave the Pittsburgh Penguins short of the playoffs again in 2024-25.

22. Seattle Kraken

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +7000

It's impossible to know what version of the Seattle Kraken we're getting, and that's reflected in their Stanley Cup futures price. At their best, they are still a playoff team.

23. St. Louis Blues

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +6500

The St. Louis Blues consistently outperform their metrics. That glass tower could collapse at any moment.

24. Washington Capitals

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +7000

The window has officially closed on the Washington Capitals' competitive window. But watch as Alex Ovechkin rides off into the sunset as the NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer.

25. Philadelphia Flyers

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +7500

Reaching the .500 mark is the Philadelphia Flyers' Stanley Cup this season.

26. Utah Hockey Club

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +7500

A new owner brightens the outlook for the Utah Hockey Club in future years, but that doesn't do anything for their Stanley Cup chances in 2024-25.

27. Montreal Canadiens

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +23000

Goaltending remains a limiting factor for the Montreal Canadiens, but we trust Martin St. Louis to extract maximum value offensively.

28. Chicago Blackhawks

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +22000

Soon, the Chicago Blackhawks will realize that it takes more than just Connor Bedard to win the Stanley Cup.

29. Calgary Flames

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +17000

The rebuild has officially started for the Calgary Flames. Expect some growing pains over the next few years as they craft their new identity.

30. Columbus Blue Jackets

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +40000

Philosophical question: if the Columbus Blue Jackets stopped playing hockey, would anyone be in the stands to notice?

31. Anaheim Ducks

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +40000

Another set of new jerseys seems like a desperate attempt to detract from the terrible on-ice product that is the Anaheim Ducks.

32. San Jose Sharks

2024-25 Stanley Cup Odds: +40000

Chicago White Sox: "We are the worst franchise in professional sports."

San Jose Sharks: "Hold my $18 beer."
