Connor Bedard took home the Calder Trophy for the 2023-24 season, but now it is time to start placing futures on the next young crop of NHL stars. The 7th pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, Matvei Michkov, is expected to enter the league next season and is the current favorite to become Rookie of the Year, but there are certainly plenty of other young guns like Macklin Celebrini who could steal this award from him.
Below, we'll keep NHL bettors up to date on all of the odds movement for the 2024-25 Calder Trophy so they can stay one step ahead of the game.

*odds as of July 2, 2024
Matvei Michkov (Philadelphia Flyers): When the Flyers drafted Michkov in the 2023 NHL Draft, they received a lot of praise. However, the only problem was that no one really knew when the 19-year-old Russian phenom would come over to the U.S. and join the team. Luckily for the Flyers faithful, they only had to wait one season as Philadelphia was able to sign Michkov to a three-year entry-level deal at the end of June.
Philadelphia could use all the scoring help they can get, and this triple-threat winger can instantly provide the spark they've been looking for.
Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks): Celebrini was the first player to hear his name called at the 2024 NHL Draft, and no one was surprised. The Boston University prospect was touted as the top player in his class for quite some time, and once the Sharks won the draft lottery, it was expected they would add the young center who registered 64 points in his freshman season at BU.
Logan Stankoven (Dallas Stars): Of the three players favored to win the 2024-25 Calder Trophy, Logan Stankoven is the only one who has gotten a taste of the league. The 21-year-old second-round pick from 2021 played in 24 regular-season games and 19 playoff games. Stankoven more than proved he could be a star for the Dallas Stars, picking up 14 regular-season points while also scoring three postseason goals on his way to eight playoff points.
