Like many pundits (and certain bloggers), the oddsmakers apparently believe that the Los Angeles Kings missing the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs won’t hamper their chances of a rebound. Chicago, as expected, have the best odds to win another Cup, but LA joins the other three conference finalists in the second tier of favorites.
