The NHL offseason has been bustling with activity as teams prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 season, particularly with respect to the Stanley Cup odds and futures. The Florida Panthers, fresh off two consecutive championships, are favored once again at +700 despite the looming question of their goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky's free agency next year. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights are not far behind at +750 and +850 respectively, having made significant roster adjustments. The Hurricanes added depth by trading for Logan Stankoven and signing Nikolaj Ehlers, while the Golden Knights made headlines by acquiring Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite the offseason changes, consistency is key as teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs face challenges with their goalie situation and the loss of Marner, which could lead them to fall under the projected 99.5 total points for the season. As betting enthusiasts gear up for the new season, it's essential to keep an eye on these developments and make informed wagers.
