Todd Fuhrman joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Todd’s Odds, where they discuss his Oilers pick to win the Stanley Cup that didn’t quite pan out, 2026 Stanley Cup winner odds, why the Hurricanes find themselves at the top of those odds, how you bet against the Panthers to win a third straight Stanley Cup, where Brad Marchand may land in the offseason, and more.

First! To say this is bullcrap lol
Carolina? not with the Panthers around
Stupid
How many times are we gonna say their cup favs/contender but thy keep folding in playoffs enough is enough.
the canes they can’t even win a conference final game
makes absolutely no sense
I’m not ready to rule out the possibility the Canes will qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup final but that’ll mean winning more than just 1 game in a conference final.
Just take the thumbs down with that question. Plain and simple. Just take it and eat it. Anyone thinking Carolina is the favorite next year is not a hockey expert. They're a clown.
Haters in the comments
What are the Canucks doing on there? They're my team but no. The only team less likely to win are the Oilers. They're done, time to get back of the line.
Dumb comments suggest that other teams just roll over and let Florida ride them raw. Not happening.
Everyone in the comments hating are just casuals lol, Carolina can win the cup, personally I think they have the cap space to bring in a goal scorer and get them over the hump and therefore win the cup because the west sucks
If the Jets can add more grit to their lineup I think they can be right there and soon.
The disrespect towards the Panthers is insane.
I hope they sign Marner and trash the leafs in the ECF.
GO JETS GO
It's possible but they have to go through the Panthers
The West is due to win it next year. In fact, I predict a 65-70% chance. Either Colorado or Edmonton will win it. Or perhaps Dallas. And that's it. The Hurricanes are getting old and slow. The Oilers are still fast, they need a few things more in my opinion but these are not things that are staggering like say, what the Bruins or Rangers need.
The best way to know what the Oilers need is to ask Paul Coffey and Corey Perry. They both won it as players and are still members of the team. McDavid and Draisaitl are by far the two best players in the world and far, far ahead of any player in the NHL that HAS NOT won a Stanley Cup yet.
I thought it said 2006 in the picture, now i dont believe it😅.
They have by far the easiest division with a clear path to the ECF. Once in the ECF, bettors can hedge on the other team to guarantee a profit. That’s why Carolina’s odds have to be so short.
That would assume they can win more than 1 game in the conference finals…
how can anyone be a favorite without the draft and free agency not even remotely close to finish?
The Panthers should be the favorites to three-peat.
Canes beat Oilers in 4 in 2026.
Always betting favorites
Always choke in the playoffs
Canes are the new Sharks 😂
Minnesota could surprise…Not a fan but they got some really good players.
Canes. Nope, I see them losing in Round 1 next year.
Lmao 😂
Why are The Maple Leafs not betting favorites for the Stanley Cup ?
Easy answer They Suck
The problem for Carolina is that they play the same exact style as Florida. I say this because the panthers play this style on a whole league above the canes
Honestly, if not the Panthers, I would rather put the Lightning and Vegas before Carolina 😒
One thing for sure, the Maple Leafs won't win the Stanley Cup!! 😂
🤣🤣 is all I have too say about this
Fire Brind'Amour and sign DeBoer; pick up McDavid and Lehner as Goalie from Free Agency and they can get over that hump of steamrolling New Jersey, Montreal, Toronto and Washington only to Face Florida in the Conference Finals
