MVP Odds

Most of the time, last year’s champion is among the favorites to repeat again the next season. But that’s not true when it comes to the National Hockey League’s most valuable player betting lines.

Taylor Hall became the first New Jersey Devil ever to win the Hart Trophy last season. The first overall pick in the 2008 draft earned 72 out of 164 first-place votes. The Alberta native, who finished sixth in the league in scoring with 93 points, isn't even in the Top 5 for this year's MVP.
