Now that the 2023 NHL entry draft is over, big trades have been made and free agent frenzy 2023 is winding down, NHL team rosters are now being finalized.
This has lead to NHL odds makers to make their betting predictions on who will win the Stanley Cup in 2024.
Avalanche, Leafs, Oilers are the Stanley Cup favorites for 2024
The Colorado Avalanche are once again a top tier favorite even without Gabriel Landeskog playing this year. They made moves for forwards Miles Wood and Jonathan Drouin. The Avs are hoping Drouin can get his scoring touch back and rekindle some magic he had playing with Nathan MacKinnon in their junior days.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made some bold moves and added some more grit to the lineup by signing Ryan Reaves, Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi. These move have impressed the NHL odds makers and have made the Maple Leafs Stanley Cup favorites for the 2023-24 NHL season.
The Edmonton Oilers are the other team that the odds makers are favoring to win the Stanley Cup. With Connor McDavid dominating the league how can you not count out the Oilers. The only issue with the Oilers, can you trust their goaltending tandem with Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner?

What are NHL fans saying about the 2023-2024 Stanley Cup favorites?
Leaf fan here: Same core four will result is same playoff results, even with the additions of Bertuzzi, Domi, Klingberg and Reaves. It will be another first round exit. I like the Devils this year.
Big time Avs fan but I cannot see us being a favorite. We still need more depth players. Who knows what Drouin will bring? He has lost his game and not sure he will ever get it back?
How are the Vegas Golden Knights not favored to win the Stanley Cup? They dominated the playoffs and basically have the same team coming back.
