Nazem Kadri will be jubilantly waving to the fans at the parade Thursday through the streets of Denver. As the players party and mingle with the fans in the Mile High City to celebrate the franchise's third Stanley Cup title, there's this difficult reality: Quite a few of them may not get the opportunity to return and defend the crown. The list of unrestricted free agent players includes big-time contributors such as Kadri, Darcy Kuemper, Andrew Cogliano, Andre Burakovsky, Josh Manson and Valeri Nichushkin.
Last night, the NHL handed out the Stanley Cup to the Colorado Avalanche for the first time since 2001. Looking ahead to next year, do any teams currently present value with their 2023 Stanley Cup odds? With new lines already out for next season, the Avalanche own the highest odds to repeat at +500, followed by the Toronto Maple Leafs priced at +900, along with the Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Vegas Golden Knights all sitting at +1000.
The NHL’s return to Disney (DIS)’s family of sports networks brought in nearly double the viewers of last year’s Stanley Cup Final, according to new data from Walt Disney Company subsidiary ESPN.
