The Toronto Maple Leafs are early favourites heading into the 2016-17 season… to lose, that is.The Maple Leafs have the worst odds of winning the Stanley Cup next season, according to Bovada. The oddsmakers have the Leafs and Sabres tied in last with 66-1 odds, a significant drop from the next worst set of teams at 50-1. Considering the Leafs finished with a miserable 69 points last season—good for last in the league—no one should be surprised at their league-worst odds.The Pittsburgh Penguins, who are probably just waking up from a long night of celebration, are early favourites to repeat in 2017, with an NHL-best 8-1 odds.Other noteworthy teams include the Capitals and Blackhawks, tied in second at 10-1; the ever-so-close Sharks, tied in fourth at 14-1; and the Canadiens, who, at 20-1, have the best shot at finally bringing the Cup back north of the border. The Canadiens were the last Canadian-based team to win the Cup when they defeated the Wayne Gretzky-led Kings in five games in 1993.Leafs fans do, however, have something to be excited about, as the team will soon select franchise centre Auston Matthews with the No. 1 overall pick in this month's NHL draft, and maybe even enter the Steven Stamkos sweepstakes.If you're a truly confident Leafs fan, those factors might be good enough reason to place a bet. A $100 wager on the Leafs to win the Cup could make you $6,600 richer!
