I like Chicago at 8 1/2. Lots of good young talent. Ousted in 2009 by Detroit in the Western Conference Finals (1-4) I think they build and return as a top contender in 2010.The team has not won the Cup since 1961. This is the longest current cup drought in the NHL. Look for the Hawks to make a solid run for the cup next season.

I like the Sharks at 8/1. Thornton and Marleau are dominating thus far and Dany Heatley is a huge talent; they've had it for a few seasons now on paper but I think this might finally be when San Jose punches through. Detroit seems weaker this year, for one...
