Oilers have second-best odds of West teams to win the Stanley Cup next year

The Edmonton Oilers have the second-best odds amongst all 16 Western Conference teams to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup next season. 

The Oilers trail only the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche in the West, according to Odds Shark. Colorado is the favourite to repeat its 2022 title at +450. The Oilers come in at +1200, tied for the fifth-best odds overall with the Carolina Hurricanes.

That means a $100 bet would return $1300 or $1200 in profit. 

The Oilers were swept out of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Western Conference Final by the Avalanche. 

After topping the Los Angeles Kings and Calgary Flames, Edmonton advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs for the first time since losing in the Cup final to the Hurricanes in 2006. 

Connor McDavid, with 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists), led this year’s playoffs in points, becoming the first player to do so without his team playing in the final since 2002. Leon Draisaitl, at 32 points (seven goals, 25 assists) finished second. Each played just 16 games.  

The Oilers also have the second-best odds amongst all Canadian teams to win the Stanley Cup next year behind only the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto is +900 to win. The Calgary Flames, third, is a +2000 shot to bring the Cup back north.

Here are the odds for next season’s Stanley Cup:

Colorado Avalanche +450
Toronto Maple Leafs +900
Florida Panthers +1000
