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 is unsurprising to see him open as the favorite to win the Hart Trophy for the 2024-25 season, but there are certainly still a lot of options for NHL bettors to place futures on, including the 2023-24 winner, Nathan MacKinnon.

Current Favorites

Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers): While McDavid fell short of his first Stanley Cup, he became just the sixth player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe despite not winning the title. The Oilers savior also fell just short of winning the 4th Hart trophy of his career as he recorded a league-high 100 assists during the regular season to give him 132 points on the year.

The scary aspect for the rest of the league is that now that McDavid has a taste of the Stanley Cup finals, he will likely be even more motivated to return to the promised land in 2024-25.

Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche): MacKinnon had consistently fallen just short of winning his first Hart Trophy, but that all changed this season, as he was able to get the job done with a terrific year. During the 2023-24 season, MacKinnon posted a career-high 51 goals and 140 points, as he led the league in shots on goal with 405. As long as he can stay healthy, MacKinnon should be able to remain around the top of the odds board throughout the entire 2024-25 campaign.

Auston Matthews (Toronto Maple Leafs): After playing in the most games since his rookie season, Auston Matthews put on a scoring clinic this past season, leading the league with a career-high 69 goals on the way to 107 points. While the Maple Leafs continue to fall short of all expectations, Matthews has a high likelihood of sitting atop the goals category for plenty of years moving forward.
