Stanley Cup race is wide open

Eight teams have odds between plus-650 and 13-to-1 at FanDuel, with Florida Panthers favored at plus-650 after reloading with Brady Tkachuk.

Montreal Canadiens at 25-to-1

The Canadiens reached the Eastern Conference finals last spring and have an elite young core under stable coach Martin St. Louis, with no team in the NHL having a higher ceiling.

Schaefer's Hart Trophy value

Matthew Schaefer is 100-to-1 to win the Hart Trophy after nearly winning the Calder. If he wins the Norris Trophy as a sophomore, he'll be in Hart conversation as a league face.

Johnston's Hart and goal bets

Wyatt Johnston is 300-to-1 for the Hart but 16-to-1 to lead the NHL in goals. He scored 45 last season and has increased totals each year, making a 60-goal campaign realistic.

Viggo Bjorck Calder at 40-to-1

The Winnipeg Jets committed to Viggo Bjorck as their number-two center, and early rookie camp returns suggest he'll make the team. Odds will likely drop by opening night.

Sanderson's Norris Trophy play

Jake Sanderson is the Ottawa Senators' most important player, logging nearly 25 minutes per game in all situations. A small offensive uptick makes him a serious Norris contender at 33-to-1.

Arniel's Jack Adams value

Scott Arniel faces off-ice turmoil with Connor Hellebuyck wanting out, but getting the Jets to the playoffs despite this chaos would put him in Jack Adams conversation at 60-to-1.
