Not even three full days removed from the end of the Stanley Cup Finals, the early odds are out for the 2014-15 season, and your New Jersey Devils are listed as 25 to 1 — good for 12th overall in the NHL.
These surprisingly high odds are based on the departure of Martin Brodeur, and the concept that Cory Schneider will get his first full season as the team’s No. 1 goalie.

The Rangers are listed at 14 to 1 odds, the Flyers at 50 to 1 and the Islanders at 60 to 1.
Are the odds-makers nuts here listing the Devils at 25 to 1 over a lot of other really good teams? Or, with Brodeur gone, can the Devils finally focus on making this Schneider’s team?
