LAS VEGAS — Fresh off the Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup, bettors already are banking on them to repeat as NHL champions next year.
“There’s a lot of interest on them. There’s actually been some money,” Circa sportsbook manager Jeff Davis said. “It’s been a pleasant surprise. Usually when you put these championship markets out a year out, outside of the NFL, you usually don’t write a lot of business to it right away. People don’t want to lock up money a year out.
“But Vegas winning the Stanley Cup has definitely kept the buzz going a little bit.”
