Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins bolstered their lineup over the summer with the acquisition of Phil Kessel from the Toronto Maple Leafs, but they’re still trailing the top favorites on the odds to win the 2016 Stanley Cup at the sportsbooks.

The Penguins sit sixth on the Stanley Cup futures at Bodog at +1400 with training camp on the horizon, putting them in a tie with the St. Louis Blues and behind five other teams on those betting lines at the sportsbook.

The champion Chicago Blackhawks have been forced to make some changes to their Cup-winning roster so far this summer, but that hasn’t kept them from holding onto their spot atop the NHL betting futures at online sportsbook Bodog.

The Chicago Blackhawks have won three Stanley Cups over the past six years, and with the NHL offseason now in full swing they have been listed at online sportsbook Bodog as the 7/1 betting favorite to repeat as the 2016 Stanley Cup champions.

Having started the season at 13/2 on the odds to win the Stanley Cup at Bodog, the Chicago Blackhawks are now sitting at -150 at the online sportsbook on those betting lines as they prepare to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup final.

It’s the New York Rangers who enter this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs as the favorites, with five Canadian clubs falling in behind them on that NHL futures list at the online sportsbooks with the league’s postseason schedule getting underway on April 15.

At online sportsbook Bodog the Rangers are set as the 6/1 Stanley Cup odds favorites, putting them just ahead of four other teams that are holding down 8/1 odds – the Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, and St. Louis Blues.

The Montreal Canadiens added some depth to their roster prior to the NHL Trade Deadline, and the online sportsbooks have given them a small bump on the odds to win the 2015 Stanley Cup as we enter the stretch run of the 2014/15 campaign.

As we approach the NHL trade deadline teams continue to jockey for the top spots on the odds to win the 2015 Stanley Cup at the sportsbooks, with the Nashville Predators the latest club to make a move up the list after they bolstered their roster.

The Predators acquired defenseman Cody Franson and forward Mike Santorelli from the Toronto Maple Leafs to add depth to both the blueline and the forward corps of the team sitting in first place overall in the NHL standings with under 30 games left in the regular season.

The Chicago Blackhawks are back atop the odds to win the 2015 Stanley Cup at the online sportsbooks, with the Anaheim Ducks and the Pittsburgh Penguins sitting behind the Blackhawks on the latest edition of those NHL betting futures.

At Bodog the Blackhawks are now the 5/1 leader on the odds to win the 2015 Stanley Cup, with the Ducks second at 15/2, and the Penguins third at 9/1. Pittsburgh had been the leader on those Stanley Cup futures back in December.

Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins are alone atop the odds to win the 2015 Stanley Cup at the online sportsbooks heading into the month of December, pushing Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks to second on that NHL futures list two months into the 2014/15 NHL season.

The Chicago Blackhawks are off to just a middling start to the 2014/15 NHL season, but the oddsmakers at the online sportsbooks still have them as the co-favorites on the updated odds to win the Stanley Cup in the spring.

At Bodog the Blackhawks and Penguins both sit at 15/2 on the Stanley Cup betting lines a month into the season, with the Boston Bruins rounding out the top three contenders on the futures list at 17/2.
