However, that doesn't stop us from anticipating and making predictions for the upcoming season, even though a lot can still change before the start of games for all 32 teams.
On the official sports betting site partnered with the NHL, FanDuel Sportsbook, the odds for the 2024-2025 season are already available.
Regarding the Jack Adams Award, which honors the best head coach of the regular season, Sheldon Keefe, the new coach of the New Jersey Devils, is the favorite with odds of +700. He is ahead of Kris Knoblauch (+900) of the Edmonton Oilers and Craig Berube (+1200) of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The former head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs appears well-positioned, with general confidence that he can turn around the New Jersey Devils after a disappointing 2023-2024 season and lead them to the playoffs.
