2019 NHL Awards Odds

The 2019 NHL Awards get underway on June 19 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and odds are out on which players will win the hardware in Sin City this time around.
Bovada has released odds on each award, with the majority of the props having a significant favorite.
Pettersson is a Near Lock for the Calder
One of the most prized individual trophies is the Calder Memorial Trophy, which is given to “the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the NHL.” Vancouver Canucks star first-year center Elias Pettersson, who notched 66 points in his first 71 games, is the astronomical -5000 favorite for a reason. Pettersson to win the Calder is easily the biggest lock of this year’s award ceremony.
Masterton Trophy is Lehner’s to Lose
The second-biggest front-runner is New York Islanders goaltender Robin Lehner to win the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which is awarded annually to “the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.”
Lehner had an outstanding first season with the Isles while speaking openly about his issues with mental illness after enduring some tough years with the Buffalo Sabres, so it’s no surprise to see the netminder as the huge -3333 fave to win the Masterton.
Jack Adams Award Could Split Voters
The only award that sportsbooks are projecting to be close is the Jack Adams Award. The Jack Adams is awarded to the NHL coach “adjudged to have contributed the most to his team’s success.” Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper is the odds-on -105 favorite, while Barry Trotz of the New York Islanders is +130 and St. Louis’ Craig Berube is +550.
It’s important to note that these awards are based on regular-season success, with the playoffs not factoring into the voters’ decisions. For that reason, Cooper looks like the best choice in my eyes due to Tampa Bay’s 62-16-4 regular-season record.
