St. Louis Blues looks like a decent long shot for this season's Stanley Cup. Under new coach Jim Montgomery, he steered them to their first playoff berth since the 2021/22 season with an overall record of 35-8-7. They have added wins to their regular season in each of their last three seasons. They won 19 of their last 26 games. Middle of the pack in both goals for and against. There are pluses such as Jordan Kyrou potentially scoring over 40 goals and increasing his overall production. Also, the goalies duo of Hofer and Binnington were both above-average tenders. I think overall they are capable of a playoff run and good value odds at 50/1 each way.
