Sergei Bobrovsky Betting Favorite to Win Vezina Trophy, And Other Assorted Odds

Hockey season is almost here, folks. After an offseason of uncertainty, contract debates, and the future being up in the air, the Columbus Blue Jackets are about to open their season.

For anyone among the fan base who may enjoy betting on sports (legally, of course), or are interested in where the Jackets stack up against the competition, here are some odds as the season opens.

VEZINA TROPHY

Sergei Bobrovsky is currently the Vezina favorite. After being snubbed last season as a finalist, the two time Vezina winner is the favorite to take home the hardware this season. Full odds are as follows:

NORRIS TROPHY

Before his injury Tuesday night, Seth Jones was one of two players listed at 13/2 odds to win the trophy. His odds will take a hit with the injury, but if he recovers quickly, he will still have a chance to win the trophy.

Who will win the James Norris Trophy as the NHL’s best defenseman?

Erik Karlsson                          5/2

Victor Hedman                        4/1

Ryan Ellis                                30/1

Ryan Suter                               30/1

ART ROSS

Artemi Panarin is the only Blue Jacket currently listed with odds to win the Art Ross as top scorer in the NHL. At best, he is considered a long shot - this award is likely Connor McDavid’s to lose.

Who will win the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL’s points leader?

Connor McDavid                      11/4

Sidney Crosby                         17/2

Joe Pavelski                           60/1

Sebastian Aho                        65/1

HART MEMORIAL

Again, Artemi Panarin checks in for the Blue Jackets here. If the Blue Jackets win the division or the President’s Trophy while Panarin posts a monster season, he has a chance to bring this one home.
