"The season has barely been over for 12 hours, but one online gambling site has the jump on who they believe are the Stanley Cup favorites for next season. Bovada.com laid out their odds on who they believe have the best shot at raising Lord Stanley's Cup next June and the Los Angeles Kings aren't at the top of the list. Instead it's Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins they're giving the best odds to with a 7/1 shot of winning it all. The Kings, meanwhile, are the next best bet at 11/1. The Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Devils shake out at 30/1. Five teams check in as the third-best bets at 12/1. Chicago, Detroit, the Rangers, Vancouver, and St. Louis get the nod there.
