Because it’s preseason and winning the East still doesn’t guarantee they make it past the first round

Because they often perform well in the regular season?

The most popular teams will often be given lower odds than they deserve as the most money will be placed on those teams, not because they are the best. This reduces the liability for the company. As sports interaction is a Canadian company it makes sense for them to cut the price of Toronto.

These are betting odds not actual probabilities of winning. These numbers are all about making money for the betting houses. If more people are betting on Toronto then the odds of them winning goes down.

Because its their year lol

I mean Florida and Tampa got worse. Leafs pretty much stayed the same. They won with sub .900 goaltending. Not a stretch that they “can” win the East. I doubt they do though.

Because they’ve been a top 5 team in the regular season for 3-4 years now, and they continue to be a top 5 team.

I think odds are based on betting patterns. Leafs have a large fanbase, more people that bet on them.
The Dallas Cowboys are like this. So many cowboys fans bet on them that their odds favour Dallas winning more than they should. Leafs should be one of the favourites in the east, but Tampa should have better odds.

Because it makes the inevitable collapse funnier.

Because they’re a fucking good team

Im just surprised Montreal is as high as they are.

If you’re complaining about it, just drop some money on the team who you think will win.

If I had to pick a team that is most likely to win the east it would be the Leafs… Don’t know why this surprises people, of course anything could happen, but the Leafs look like the best team on paper

Because it pisses you people off and its hilarious
KC00per
Probably because they are amazing in regular season. Favorites to win East. Favorites to have 1st round exit.
Carolina_913
Because they’re favored every year
And on paper they technically should be

Because odds makers dont care about cringey nerds on reddit circle jerking about them with first round jokes

It’s pre-preseason, and the Leafs are the NHL’s version of an SEC college football team — they will be ranked very highly before a game is played, and then slowly fall throughout the season?

This sub has to have the dumbest questions

Because the Leafs are usually a powerhouse in the trailer season, even if they tend to suck in the playoffs

It really isn’t that unbelievable… my vote is personally Carolina though. Tampa has played a ton of hockey in the past 3 years, they ain’t gonna go all out for regular season success, doesn’t really matter where they place they got another playoff level.
Could see Calgary winning the west, but most likely will be Colorado.

… because they’re one of the best teams in the East?

I’d put a nice amount on the islanders to win at 19:1, I smell a bounce back year
