Well, could be worse. Middle of the pack

 

[Habsawce]

These will change probably 5 times before the season starts, and another 10 times during the season.

All this shows is how Vegas respects teams. Top 1/3, only 5 teams with worse odds and tied with several others, including the Kings and Pens

 

[JayKing]

Wouldn't bet on them with this offense

Yeah, pretty pointless doing those when the offseason just began, every team will at least make some change to their roster.

 

[Takeru]

Also LOL at the Rangers having 2nd best odds despite being right up against the cap and having to resign key players for next year.

 

[shawdowmaker]

Montreal going to win it all.

 

[Alex514]

Wouldnt put too much stock in these numbers.

 

[smirob]

Well Bergevin should be happy, our goal at the beginning of each season is to make the playoffs....

Can't wait for the annual ''Habs won't make the playoff'' article to come out

 

[OldCraig71]

Our management team will embrace those numbers because they don't lie. Look at Da record!!!

 

[Seb]

We won't win if we still play the same crappy system next year.

Won't happen this year. There is only one team in the division that is any good besides Montreal, in Tampa. Buffalo and Toronto are going to be horrendous. Florida is alright, but they won't be pushing for the division by any stretch. Detroit I think will take a fall with a new coach and still a pretty average roster at best. Ottawa only made the playoffs by a fluke magical run, won't happen twice and Boston should be about the same or worse most likely.

So if 3 teams in the division make the playoffs, which of those teams have a legitimate shot at knocking off Montreal. Tampa, in a crazy injury filled world maybe Detroit or Boston. That's about it.

10k on the leafs

 

[Scintillating10]

I have Habs rated as only one player away from cup contender. Just can't score enough. Everything else is there

 

[holyhabs]

transition year

Since every teams you mention seem terribad, I would say Ottawa have still a pretty good chance to make the playoffs again, best of the worst.
