The Hart, Calder, and Adams Picks
The 2022-23 NHL season begins this week in North America. The Hart, Calder and Adams awards are given to the best players.
Auston Matthews won the Hart Trophy in June. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl won it last year. Other candidates might challenge McDaniels, but it's not a given. Nikita Kucherov is a good value at +1400. The odds table courtesy of BetMGM. The winner will be announced on December 1st. It's a full 82-game schedule this year, which is unusual.
The Calder Trophy, or Rookie Of The Year, could be a wide-open race this year. Beniers, McTavish, and Power are early frontrunners. Logan Thompson is going to get a lot of starts for Vegas early. Marco Rossi is a feel-good story from Minnesota. Jake Neighbours from the St. Louis Blues is in a long-shot group around +5000. Simon Edvinsson from Detroit, William Eklund from San Jose, Stuart Skinner from Edmonton are also potential candidates.
After Darryl Sutter won the award in June, some argued that the Coach Of The Year should have gone to Gerard Gallant. The New York Rangers bench boss is at +1200 via Gambling.com.
