NHL Hart Memorial Trophy Winner

What you need to know

This market is asking: which player will win the NHL's most valuable player award for the 2025–26 season? The Hart Memorial Trophy is the award NHL voters give each year to the player they judge most valuable to his team. A 'Yes' on any listed player means that player wins the trophy; everyone else resolves 'No.' It's a single-winner award — only one player takes it home. The market settles as soon as the NHL officially announces the 2025–26 Hart Trophy winner, which typically happens at the NHL Awards ceremony in June. The winner is chosen by members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. One important edge case: if a listed player is not even named a finalist before the award is given, that player's market resolves 'No' automatically — even if they had a strong season. The news provided doesn't include anything relevant to this market — the headlines are about an unrelated political protest and a TV show. There's nothing here about the 2025–26 NHL season, player performance, or the Hart Trophy race. The kind of news that would actually matter here includes late-season stats, injury reports, playoff performance, and any early announcements about Trophy finalists from the NHL. The market leans heavily toward Kucherov at around 64%, which reflects a real consensus — but Hart voting is famously unpredictable. Voters weigh regular-season performance, team success, and narrative, so a strong playoff run by a rival can shift attention even after a dominant season. McDavid, a three-time Hart winner, is always a factor. The award also hasn't been announced yet, meaning anything — an injury, a historic final stretch — could still move the needle.

The odds right now

• Nikita Kucherov+15.4 pts (1w)46%
• Connor McDavid-20.3 pts (1w)40%
• Nathan MacKinnon-6.2 pts (1w)6%
