A minus sign means you need to bet that amount to win $100. So the Ducks for example are -165, meaning if you risk $165 of your money to win $100. So if the Ducks win the series, the bookie pays you $100. If the Flames win the series, you pay your bookie $165.
Conversely, a plus sign means betting $100 wins that amount. So the Flames at +145 means that you are risking $100 to win $145. If the Flames win the series, your bookie pays you $145, but if the Ducks win you pay your bookie $100.
