They are not the best team on paper. Fans and media hype are certainly a factor. Oilers are the ultimate example. What success did the Oilers have exactly? Since when did getting to round two make a team a legit cup favorite? Enjoy losing your money though.

Kadri has replaced Bozak FYI. They are definitely better. Bozak was very good on face offs and well that's it. JT has even replaced JVR's one great asset-1st PP specialist infront of the net.
Nylander will get signed eventually.
They are as good as anyone on paper.
Edmonton had a very good season the previous year. That's why they were picked as a cup favourite. Are you sayinga team should only be picked asa favourite if they win a couple of rounds? Betting has never worked that way.
The Leafs are getting hype because of the fantastic summer they had and the fact they already had the 6th best record in the NHl without Tavares last season.
It's funny that the Leafs are seen as not very good and overhyped. look at that roster. Those 3 centres are a nightmare to matchup against. They are the best 3 in the NHL.
