The Favorites
The Hurricanes (+550) have the shortest price on the board, a reflection of a deep, puck-dominant roster that controls play as well as any team in the league. The Avalanche (+700) and Oilers (+750) are the usual Western Conference heavyweights, and the Golden Knights (+850) and Panthers (+950) round out a top five that any bettor would recognize. The margins between these teams are razor thin.
The Contenders
The middle of the board is crowded with real threats. The Devils (+1000), Lightning (+1100), and Wild (+1100) all have the top-end talent to make noise, while the Capitals (+1400) and Stars (+1500) sit just outside the favorites. In a league where the Cup is famously hard to win, this is the tier where a hot goalie in April can change everything.
Longshots and Value Plays
From the Utah Mammoth (+1900) and Senators (+2200) on down, this is where futures bettors go hunting for value before the market catches up. Teams in the 25-to-1 to 60-to-1 range have the pieces to climb with a strong winter, and the Original Six names further down the board, from the Canadiens to the Maple Leafs, always draw action from their fan bases.
How Stanley Cup Futures Work
A Stanley Cup future is a season-long bet on which team lifts the Cup in June. You lock in the price now, and it pays only if your team wins it all. Hockey futures are notoriously tough because the playoffs are a goalie-driven coin flip, which is exactly why longshots cash more often here than in other sports. Betting early captures the longest price, with the trade-off that your stake is committed for months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is favored to win the 2026-27 Stanley Cup?
As of November 12, the Carolina Hurricanes are the betting favorite at +550, just ahead of the Colorado Avalanche at +700 and the Edmonton Oilers at +750.
Why are NHL futures considered hard to win?
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are a long, physical grind where goaltending can swing any series, so even the best regular-season team is far from a lock. That unpredictability is why the favorite still carries a relatively long price.
What does +550 mean?
It is the profit on a 100 dollar bet. A 100 dollar wager on the Hurricanes at +550 returns 550 dollars in profit, plus your stake, if they win the Cup.
