WDIV’s Dave Bartkowiak Jr. filed his weekly Red Wings column this morning, and he reports that the Wings are not exactly odds-on favorites to win big this season…Which is to be expected…
The Red Wings are listed at +20000 (money line) odds to win the Stanley Cup in the 2020-21 season by BetOnline.ag. That means if you bet $100 on the Red Wings and they somehow won Lord Stanley’s Cup this season you would cash out $20,000. Good luck!
BetOnline also has the NHL division futures set — the Red Wings have the worst odds, out of any team, for winning their division: +2500. Detroit will be playing in the realigned Central Division (Carolina, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Florida, Nashville, Tampa) for this pandemic-stricken season.
If you believe the odds, the Central Division promises to be grueling for the Wings. Tampa (+750), Carolina (+1800) and Dallas (+2000) all have some of the league’s better odds for winning the Stanley Cup.
Continued, with various hockey-related topics discussed; I can only shrug my shoulders regarding the odds or lack thereof. This team will be better, but it’s going to take time.
