Current Favorites
Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche): Unfortunately for the rest of the NHL, Cale Makar has continued to elevate his game. During the 2023-24 season, Makar posted a career-high 90 points with 69 assists and 21 goals. Not to mention, the Avalanche star also recorded a career-high 148 blocks, as his previous career-high was 110, so with numbers like that, it was unsurprising to see him open as the favorite across the board. Throughout the 2024-25 season, that dominance has continued, as Makar is up to 91 points while ranking 7th in the league with 61 assists.
Zach Werenski (Columbus Blue Jackets): Werenski was not in the top ten on oddsboards for this award until his stretch of phenomenal play in January and February. In 19 games in January and February, Werenski recorded at least a point in 14 of them, and he's finished March with 10 points in 13 games. While his production has slowed in the back half of March, he still has 74 points on 54 assists and 20 goals this season.
Quinn Hughes (Vancouver Canucks): After finishing 9th in Norris Trophy during the 2022-23 season, Hughes came back and won it for the 2023-24 season. For the first time in his career, Hughes recorded double-digit goals with 17 while also dishing out a career-best 75 assists to give him 92 points on the season. Following that banner year, Hughes started the 2024-25 season on a bit of a slower note compared to last season, but he has since picked it up, as he's recorded 72 points from 56 assists and 16 goals. While his numbers are strong, an injury caused him to miss time, which has hurt his chances for repeating as a winner of this award.
