Draisaitl is seen as the more valuable Oiler.
The NHL odds for the 2024-25 NHL MVP are led by an Edmonton Oiler… but it’s not Connor McDavid! Leon Draisaitl has taken over the top spot, with McDavid not even іn the Top 3 at some books.
Hart Trophy odds have Nathan MacKinnon and Connor Hellebuyck rounding out the top spots, but for now, Leon is the man in charge.

NHL MVP favorites
Leon Draisaitl (+250)
We all know how good Leon Draisaitl is, but when you play with a guy like Connor McDavid, it’s hard tо stick out. However, Draisaitl’s goalscoring іs too hard tо ignore, and books have him favored tо capture his second MVP award. Leon leads the league with 33 goals — five ahead оf William Nylander.
Nathan MacKinnon (+320)
I think it’s safe to say Natha MacKinnon is hungry for another MVP after capturing the award last season. Nate has a ridiculous 74 points in 48 games, and some books even have him edged ahead of Draisaitl.
If he can pull іt off, MacKinnon will be the first repeat MVP winner since Ovechkin did sо back іn 2008/2009.
Connor Hellebuyck (+550)
Connor Hellebuyck already has the Vezina award locked up, but can he secure MVP honors too? If the Jets’ netminder can claim the award, he’ll be the first one to win since Carey Price in 2015 and just the eighth ever. Talk about elite company

Kyle LaRusic NHL MVP prediction
I have to ride the hot hand and go with Kaprizov here. He gets plenty of ice time with Minnesota’s top players. If he can keep Minnesota in the win column, he should be able to keep up with the rest of the best.
