Obviously the Blackhawks are not true contenders, but where exactly do they rank?
Well, according to Bleacher Report, they are tied for the 2nd worst odds to in it all, with +25000. They have the same odds as the Sharks, Blue Jackets and Ducks.
As you could guess, the Coyotes have the worst odds at +100000....shocker.
The odds are currently led by the Avalanche (+450), Bruins (+600), Golden Knights (+900), Devils (+1100), and Hurricanes (+1100).
The biggest surprise, to me, is the Devils being in the top 5 for highest odds to win it all. I would not have put them anywhere near this spot heading into the season. They had a bit of a rough start, but have been one of the best teams in the league since then. The Devils and Bruins have been light years ahead of the rest of the NHL for the last month.
