Not because Vegas says so, but because they have the best team in the NHL. The Toronto Maple Leafs have the best forwards in the NHL by a mile, one of the best goalies and a very underrated defense.
Oh, and they’re not even close to done.
All respect to Hunter Eitel and the article he wrote yesterday, that I almost didn’t publish. (Kidding, he’s entitled to his views even if they are wrong!)
Now, I can’t guarantee a Stanley Cup – there’s a lot of luck involved and 30 teams fail to win it every year – but if you don’t have the Leafs as favorites, I think you’re nuts.
