Opening prices are only a starting point. Major trades, free-agent signings, injuries, and goaltending changes can quickly reshape the Stanley Cup favorites. Florida, for example, added Brady Tkachuk and Jacob Markstrom, while Sergei Bobrovsky left for Toronto. Changes of that size affect team depth and market expectations together.
Smaller moves may also shift a price. Adding a top-six forward, starting goalie, or high-usage defenseman can shorten a contender’s line. Losing a key player or carrying major injury uncertainty can move it the other way. Read our NHL trade deadline futures impact if you want to gain a more profound understanding of the market.
Results matter once the season begins. Winning streaks, defensive problems, playoff position, and injuries can alter NHL Stanley Cup odds. Compare the new number with the earlier line instead of judging a team only by its place among the Stanley Cup favorites.
Stanley Cup Winner History and Futures Betting
Recent champions show that the shortest price does not always win. The table lists the last 10 winners and their odds immediately before the playoffs.
| Season | Champion | Pre-playoff odds |
|---|---|---|
| 2025–26 | Carolina Hurricanes | +500 |
| 2024–25 | Florida Panthers | +1000 |
| 2023–24 | Florida Panthers | +800 |
| 2022–23 | Vegas Golden Knights | +1200 |
| 2021–22 | Colorado Avalanche | +325 |
| 2020–21 | Tampa Bay Lightning | +800 |
| 2019–20 | Tampa Bay Lightning | +650 |
| 2018–19 | St. Louis Blues | +1250 |
| 2017–18 | Washington Capitals | +1225 |
| 2016–17 | Pittsburgh Penguins | +770 |
The historical results show how widely championship prices can vary. Colorado entered the 2022 playoffs at +325, while St. Louis won in 2019 at +1250. Comparing the odds to win Stanley Cup markets therefore involves balancing probability and potential return. Shorter prices indicate greater market confidence, while longer prices provide a larger payout when the selection succeeds.
Important: Stanley Cup futures aren’t settled until the team you pick either wins the championship or gets eliminated. Here’s how the math works: a $25 bet at +800 will provide you $200 profit and a total payout of $225. New bettors can review how betting odds work before comparing prices and choosing a stake.
