Favorites to win the Conn Smythe Trophy

Colorado Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon leads the early Conn Smythe Trophy race at +325 odds. MacKinnon’s Avalanche are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup and he’s been a huge reason why, scoring a team-high nine points in a first-round sweep of the St. Louis Blues after notching 65 points in 48 regular-season games to lead Colorado to first place in the West. 

We’ve seen a lot of great goaltending early in the playoffs and Tuukka Rask has been one of the best. After leading the Boston Bruins to a first-round win over the Washinton Capitals, Rask is second on the board at +700. 

A couple of star forwards who often find their names atop this list slot in right behind Rask, including his teammate David Pastrnak, who is fourth at +800. 

Right ahead of Pastrnak is the 2019 NHL MVP, Nikita Kucherov. The Tampa Bay Lightning stud has been a beast after missing the entire regular season recovering from hip surgery, as he leads all skaters with 11 playoff points as of May 30. 

Marc-Andre Fleury, among the top goalies throughout the playoffs so far, rounds out the Top 5 at +850 after leading the Vegas Golden Knights to a first-round win over the Minnesota Wild in a series that went the distance.

Understanding Conn Smythe Trophy odds

Sportsbooks will post Conn Smythe Trophy odds as early as the beginning of the playoffs. These NHL futures are constantly adjusted throughout the postseason depending on how well players perform as well as their team success. Sportsbooks will also adjust the NHL awards odds based on handle and liability to certain players.

Conn Smythe Trophy odds will usually look like this:

This means that on a $100 bet, you’ll stand to win $325 if MacKinnon takes home the Conn Smythe Trophy. If it’s close to the end of the Stanley Cup playoffs and a player has stood out as the obvious MVP of the series they might have a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds like this: 

This means that if you bet on Kucherov to win the Conn Smythe Trophy, you would have needed to bet $175 to profit $100.
