2024-2025 NHL MVP Odds - Current Hart Trophy Favorites
Connor McDavid fell one game short of his first Stanley Cup, but he did win his first Conn Smythe and was a finalist for his fourth Hart Trophy. The Oilers star is a member of an elite tier of NHL players that seemingly grows every season as more talent joins the league, making the race to win the MVP a contested one each season.
With the savior of Edmonton becoming one of just six players to win the Conn Smythe despite losing the series, it was unsurprising to see him open as the favorite to win the Hart Trophy for the 2024-25 season. While he remains towards the top of the odds board, there are still many options for NHL bettors to place futures on, including the 2023-24 winner, Nathan MacKinnon, or McDavid's running mate in Edmonton, Leon Draisaitl.

*odds as of January 16, 2025
Current Favorites
Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers): The Oilers are currently second in the Pacific Division and seem well on their way to another trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs. While Connor McDavid is playing at his usual high level, the Oilers have actually been paced in scoring by Leon Draisaitl. The veteran not only leads the league with 31 goals, but he is second in the league with 65 points.
Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche): The Avalanche will enter January as the third-place team in the Central Division. However, Nathan MacKinnon seems to be doing everything possible to turn things around, as he leads the league in points with 70 and assists with 55. MacKinnon has also registered 15 goals through the team's first 45 games, so if he keeps on his current pace with points, he could be a tough guy to knock out of the top three on the odds board this season.
Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets): You would have to go back to the 2014-15 season to find the last time a goalie won the Hart Trophy. Well, as we enter the middle of January, Connor Hellebuyck has the potential to be the first since Carey Price. The Jets goalie is currently leading the league record (27-6-2), goals allowed average (2.00), save percentage (.929%), and shutouts with six.
