2019 Dallas Stars Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

I get sucked in more by the Dallas Stars than by any other Western Conference team and more than any team other than the Lightning overall. So many years, I believe that this is the year that the Stars contend in a big way. Lured in by their top-end talent, their solid top-end defense, and their goaltending, I pick them as a big team. Either the team to beat if they are well regarded elsewhere that year or as an upstart if they aren't quite on the radar.

2019 Chicago Blackhawks Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

The Chicago Blackhawks have played only four seasons since their last Stanley Cup win, but it feels like a lifetime ago. The last two years have been ugly, and there aren't a lot of people who have massive expectations for a turnaround last year. It's a rebuilding process, and it hasn't been fast. As part of that rebuild, the team made one of the more striking coaching changes we've seen last year.

2019 Calgary Flames Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

The Calgary Flames are my hometown team. They play their games about two miles from where I am writing this. I went to the first game they ever played in Calgary. As such, I feel qualified to report on just how gutting the first-round massacre at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche was. Calgary, like many cities, has struggled financially during the last few years. It's been rough. So, when the team was unexpectedly strong last year, winding up as the top seed in the Western Conference, it brought the city together like only a successful team can.

2019 Vancouver Canucks Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

The Vancouver Canucks have not made the playoffs since 2015, so there is a need to rebuild - and though they aren't taking necessarily the best path to do so, that's what they are doing. Though last year was a long way from a success on the ice - just 81 points in 82 games - it did mark an important turning of the page.

2019 Minnesota Wild Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

The offseason for the Minnesota Wild was, in a word, weird. At the end of the 2017-18 season, they hired Paul Fenton to replace long-time GM Chuck Fletcher. Fenton had come up through the Nashville organization and was well respected. Just 15 months later, though, he was fired. Things don't work out sometimes, so the fact that he was fired by itself isn't impossible to comprehend. But the Wild fired him at the end of July.

2019 Arizona Coyotes Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

Last year was a quietly impressive year for the Arizona Coyotes. They couldn't score, ranking 28th in the league in goals scored. Their power play ranked 26th. And they were hit very hard by injuries. Yet, when the dust settled in the very good Western Conference, they had missed the wild card by only four points. I'm not suggesting that they were a good team last year, but they were strong enough, and tough enough, that they could be just a few tweaks away from respectability.

2019 Los Angeles Kings Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

What went well for the Los Angeles Kings last season? Pretty much nothing. It was ugly from top to bottom. The team wound up with the worst record in the Western Conference and second worst overall behind only the Senators. Ilya Kovalchuk was absolutely disastrous as a free agent decision. Captain Anze Kopitar seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to play hockey - at least compared to what he is capable of.

2019 Winnipeg Jets Odds to win Stanley Cup with Expert Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 9/30/2019

The Central Division was very tight last year, with three teams within one point of each other. Winnipeg was tied with the eventual Stanley Cup champions, St. Louis, just a point behind Nashville. It was a battle right up until the end of the season. And it promises to be tight again. The question, though, is if Winnipeg can be right in the middle of that battle again.
