Anaheim Ducks 99.5

Boston Bruins 91.5
Buffalo Sabres 86.5

Toronto Maple Leafs 79.5

Vegas odds ARE NOT increased due to fanbase size. That's ridiculous. You are trying to find a lame excuse for the Leafs to be that high. They are good. End of story.

Oilers were the beat team on paper last season? Odds are adjusted based on what people are voting on. Media and fans are a factor. Obviously even delusional fans weren't putting their money down on the Leafs when the organization/media was telling them it's a rebuild.
If you want to make a +650 bet on the Leafs winning the cup be my guest...it's a terrible bet.
