There are no indicators of Alex Ovechkin slowing heading into his first time after winning a Stanley Cup. Bovada just released their newest odds for the Hart Memorial Trophy (the NHL’s Most Valuable Player Award) and Ovechkin was connected with the third-best odds to win in all of the NHL in 10/1.
He was joined by 2 additional Washington Capitals, Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov equally at 50/1 chances.
Here are the odds for the 11 players:
Connor McDavid 10/3
Sidney Crosby 13/2
Auston Matthews 10/1
Alex Ovechkin 10/1
Jon Tavares 10/1
Taylor Hall 15/1
Nikita Kucherov 15/1
Nathan MacKinnon 15/1
Mark Scheifele 15/1
Anze Kopitar 18/1
Evgeni Malkin 18/1
The only two players ahead of’The Good 8′ are the 21-year-old McDavid and dreaded rival Crosby.
Even with the immense amount of alcohol that has been consumed in the previous two months, Ovechkin is still controlling respect in Vegas. It’s hard not to when he turns around these intense offseason workouts. At 32, Ovechkin led the NHL in scoring with 49 goals a year before, the seventh such time he has done so.
The 2018 Conn Smythe winner has three MVP trophies to his name (one more than Crosby) and there is not any telling what to expect now that the 11-time All-Star includes a Stanley Cup title.
In his 11 years in the league, Backstrom hasn’t got any votes for the Hart Memorial Trophy. Kuznetsov only has done after which was from the 2015-16 season.
