Coming off a Western Conference Finals loss, the Dallas Stars enter the 2024/25 NHL season with the joint-third shortest odds to win the Stanley Cup.
Center Joe Pavelski retired and defenseman Chris Tanev joined the Toronto Maple Leafs this offseason, but the Stars have a talented group of young players who appear ready to replace those experienced players' production.
Forwards Logan Stankoven and Mavrik Borque could be set for big campaigns, and defenseman Thomas Harley and forward Wyatt Johnston will look to improve upon their breakout seasons last year.
The Stars still have Miro Heiskanen, Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson, Jake Oettinger, and Jamie Benn as the team's leaders.
Dallas earned 113 points but still fell one point short of the Presidents' Trophy last season. In the playoffs, they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup runner-up Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference Finals.
Ahead of a season in which the Stars will need their young players to step up into big roles, let's take a look at the team's odds in the major markets.
