The field for the Stanley Cup playoffs is set, and if the bookmakers are to be believed, this year's tournament is wide open.
The Florida Panthers are +650 to win the Stanley Cup, making the defending champions the nominal betting favorite to hoist the trophy for the second straight season.
The Cats have plenty of company at the top of the board, with the Carolina Hurricanes sitting as the second favorite at +700.
The Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, and Vegas Golden Knights are right behind Carolina at +750.
The Winnipeg Jets won their first-ever Presidents' Trophy and are the No. 1 seed in the field, but they're the sixth favorite at +950, just ahead of the Washington Capitals (+1000).

The Edmonton Oilers were the betting favorite for much of the season, but they've drifted to +1100, just ahead of the trendy Tampa Bay Lightning at +1200.
The Toronto Maple Leafs (+1400) are the only other team listed below 20/1.
The Los Angeles Kings could end up being a popular sleeper pick at +2000. Los Angeles will play Edmonton in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Edmonton has won the three previous series with the Kings.
No team in this field has seen its odds drift more than the New Jersey Devils. The Devils were among the betting favorites for much of the season, but injuries and poor play have seen them move down to +3700, putting New Jersey in the same range as the Ottawa Senators and Minnesota Wild.
The Montreal Canadiens are the biggest long shot on the board at +14000.
