The NHL season is a long grind, with every team expected to go through some serious ups and downs on the road to the Stanley Cup.

Since we are just in the very early stages of the new season, many of you are probably not thinking about futures wagers, but now might well be the best time to strike.

The fact of the matter is that the odds change quickly, and if you want to find value in NHL futures bets, you need to track the line movements and het your wagers in when you believe the odds match your evaluation of a specific team or teams.

With that in mind, let’s look at the current odds for several different futures wagers.

NHL Futures – Current Divisional Odds

Atlantic Division

The Montreal Canadiens are out to a fast start, but the current betting odds suggest that it might be a pace they cannot maintain.

On the flipside, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the favorites to win the division have started slow, but they have won 3 in a row, so perhaps the upswing is coming.

The odds right now for the top 3 are:

Metropolitan Division

It’s a tight battle at the top right now, which is not unexpected at this stage of the proceedings.

For the most part, things are going true to the odds, with the New Jersey Devils leading the way.

The current odds are:

Central Division

In just their second full season in the league, the Hockey Club are the surprise leaders in the Central Division, but I’m not sure anyone believes they will be near the top when all is said and done.

The current odds in the division are as follows:

Pacific Division

This is the division that is going closest to preseason predictions, save for perhaps the Oilers, who are sitting middle of the pack.

They have been to the last 2 Stanley Cup Finals, so I’m sure they will rebound.

The current odds in the Pacific are:

NHL Futures – Potential Conference Winners

Over the last two seasons, we have seen the same two teams, the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers, reach back-to-back finals.

You would think that both teams would be among the favorites to win their respective hockey conferences, and that is exactly correct.

Let’s look at the top of the bookies board for both the Eastern and Western Conference.

Eastern Conference Championship Odds

Western Conference Championship Odds

NHL Futures – Stanley Cup Champion

There is so long to go in the season that even thinking about who will be hoisting that iconic trophy next season seems ridiculous.

While you may want to wait a little longer to make this wager, it might not be a bad idea to risk a few bucks on the team you really like to win it all, as this may be the best NHL odds you get.

With that in mind, let’s look at the top 4 favorites to win the Stanley Cup:

What Are NHL Futures and What Can You Wager on Now?

In terms of wagering NHL Futures, many of us tend to take the season in the same way that players always say they do, though, I’m sure that some would admit that they look ahead to upcoming games and the playoffs.

NHL Futures Analysis

There are some bettors who think the same way, which helps explain why futures bets are as popular as they are.

NHL Futures: Division Odds

There are 4 divisions in the NHL, and you have the opportunity to wager on the outcome of each of them.

Conference Winners

Besides the individual divisions, the NHL is also split into two different conferences, each of which has 2 divisions.

NHL Stanley Cup Champions

You have the top 3 teams in each division getting in, as well as a pair of Wild Card teams in each conference, all of whom are seeded 1 through 8.

Individual Player Futures and Other Wagers

We have basically covered most of the bases in terms of team wagers, although you may want to consider wagering on the team that wins the President’s Trophy.
