Odds To Win The Jack Adams Award: Avs coach Bednar is the Favorite
The Colorado Avalanche are favored to win the Stanley Cup in this shortened NHL season, so perhaps it’s not surprising that the man behind their bench is the favorite in odds to win the Jack Adams Award as the league’s coach of the year.
NHL coaches will have a very interesting time managing their team during this 56-game season, having to contend with expanded rosters, taxi squads and the absence of players due to COVID-19.

Odds as of January 8 at Bovada
Jared Bednar is the Jack Adams Betting Favorite
Jared Bednar is the head coach for the Colorado Avalanche, who are the current favorites to win the Stanley Cup. Bednar took the Avalanche to the Western Conference semifinals last year and will look to improve on that this season. He is the +950 betting favorite, with 9.52 percent implied odds according to our Sports Betting Calculator.
Best Value Pick: Travis Green
Travis Green at +3000 odds is the definition of a good value pick. The head coach of the Vancouver Canucks will be in an all-Canadian division this year, but more important than that, he’s in the final year of his contract.
Green took the Canucks past the qualifying round and first round only to lose to the Vegas Golden Knights in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals last season. Look for Green to stand out among the seven Canadian team coaches as the one to watch for in the race to win the Jack Adams trophy.
