The Panthers have spent millions of dollars over the past month upgrading their forwards and defensemen, bringing in Scottie Upshall, Tomas Kopecky, Tomas Fleischmann, Sean Bergenheim and Marcel Goc up front, and Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski on the blueline.

Still, Florida lost goaltender Tomas Vokoun, and they'll be hoping the combo of Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen can get the job done between the pipes. Right now they're at 75/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup at Bodog; a more realistic goal might be contending for a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

The Minnesota Wild (70/1) and Columbus Blue Jackets (75/1) are also Stanley Cup longshots heading into the season, but they made big moves this summer as well.

The Wild swapped out forward Martin Havlat and defenseman Brent Burns, replacing them with forwards Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi. The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, signed defenseman James Wisniewski to a big free-agent deal (six years, $33 million) and traded for Flyers star forward Jeff Carter.

Minnesota and Columbus both missed the playoffs last season in the tough Western Conference, but their offseason moves should be good for at least a few more wins for each team this season.

And up in Canada the Toronto Maple Leafs are back at 50/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup this season, but their fans are hoping that adding center Tim Connolly will complete their top lines and move them back into the playoff picture.
