On May 7, Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov were named finalists for the 2023-24 Hart Memorial Trophy.
Both McDavid and Kucherov have previously been named league MVP. MacKinnon, a three-time finalist, is vying for his first Hart hardware, and he's the favorite at the only sportsbook offering odds on the award.
could this finally be the year MacKinnon walks away with the Hart Trophy that has long eluded him?
"It's just been a lot of work, I think, and there's new things I just try to get better at," MacKinnon said in an interview with ESPN. "Also, I've been healthy so far. Knock on wood. Every year it seems like I get hurt and hopefully that doesn't happen. I feel great. My body's good. My mind's good and things are just going my way for whatever reason."
In other NHL news, the Jets are Kraken are looking for new head coaches, and the book has markets for who will be taking over in Winnipeg and Seattle, respectively.
Scott Arniel opened as the odds-on favorite for the Jets job (and continues to be bet), while the Kraken is much tighter with four guys listed at 4/1 or better.
Winnipeg's head coach, Rick Bowness, is retiring. His team was eliminated from the playoffs on Tuesday. His 2,726 games as an NHL head or assistant coach are the most by anyone in league history.
