Time to put a hundred on the Sabres to win it all.

So the day after the cup was awarded the team with the best odds to win next year is the team that just won and the team with the worst odds is the team that had the worst record? They must have used state of the art technology in their computers to come up with these odds

That's pretty stupid - while the Sabres are exceedingly unlikely to get to the Cup Finals (or even make the playoffs) in 2015-16, we're on the rebound and will be doing much better this season.     Hardly the least likely to win the Cup

If anything, I think the fact they gave Toronto 66/1 angers me. They are likely worse than Buffalo next year yet somehow have a better chance....

It might be the oddsmakers not giving legitimate odds simply based on how good they think the teams are, but rather they are including where they think the money will go.

 

Toronto is much more likely (due to popularity) to have people place a bet on them (the old, place some money on my favorite team) than Buffalo is, so make the odds better. I personally like Florida as  good longshot bet at 75 to 1.

Don't worry, I thought it was misleading as well as soon as I posted it.
