It’s been a Stanley Cup dry spell for Canadian hockey, with the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup being the Montreal Canadiens in 1993. The Edmonton Oilers (+850) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (+900) are the best bets to snap the 29-year streak and bring the Stanley Cup back up north in 2024.

Edmonton will continue to be a threat to win the Stanley Cup as long as they have Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the front line. McDavid and Draisaitl led the NHL in points this season, posting an impressive 153 and 128 points respectively.

Best Longshots to win the 2024 Stanley Cup

The Minnesota Wild (+3000), Winnipeg Jets (+3300), Seattle Kraken (+3500), and New York Islanders (+5000) all have same or longer odds than the Calgary Flames (+3000) despite missing the NHL Playoffs in 2023. The 2023 playoff team with the most valuable Stanley Cup betting odds is the Seattle Kraken at +3500.

The Seattle Kraken made a statement in the 2023 NHL Playoffs, taking down the reigning Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche and falling one game short of a NHL Western Conference finals appearance. Their +3500 odds at legal NHL betting sites to make a run at the championship in the 2023-2024 NHL season are worth a bet.
