2026-27 NHL MVP Winner Odds

2026-27 NHL MVP Contenders

Current Best Bet: Connor McDavid (Oilers)  

Connor McDavid is still the clear Hart Trophy favorite, but the price reflects it. He’s at -275 on DraftKings as of today, with the market consensus sitting at -185 as of November 1 — a sharp move from +251 just two weeks earlier on October 16. The form backs it up: through 16 games he’s at 40 points (9 goals, 31 assists), tops the league, and was named the NHL’s first star of the month, well clear of the next tier of candidates like Kirill Kaprizov (+1000) and Nathan MacKinnon (+1200). The case for McDavid winning a fourth Hart is as strong as it’s been all season, but at that number there’s basically no value left — this is a bet for conviction, not for odds, so buyer beware.

Connor McDavid (Oilers)

  • Season Stats: 10 goals, 37 assists, +22

Nathan MacKinnon (Avalanche)

  • Season Stats: 10 goals, 20 assists, +6

Kirill Kaprizov (Wild)

Season Stats: 16 goals, 15 assists, +14

2026-27 NHL MVP Sleepers

Draisaitl and Matthews are the sleeper names here. Draisaitl sits at +2000 for the Hart despite producing like a top-two guy — 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists) through 18 games, right in line with the favorites but priced like an afterthought behind McDavid’s runaway -275. Matthews is the deeper value at +3500: 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) through 19 games isn’t at McDavid’s pace, but he’s a two-time goal-scoring champion who historically catches fire in the second half, and that number gives you real plus-odds if Toronto’s offense heats up and the Leafs climb the standings. Neither needs to pass McDavid outright to cash — just needs to stay in the conversation into the spring.

Auston Matthews (Maple Leafs)

  • Season Stats: 11 goals, 16 assists, +8

Leon Draisaitl (Oilers)

  • Season Stats: 16 goals, 18 assists, +17
