NHL futures surrounding the top rookie honors in the NHL went a bit wonky when favorite Connor Bedard went down with a broken jaw, but his return to play has seen him take total control of the odds board.

Latest Calder Trophy odds update

3/27/2024: Just two players remain on the odds board as no one has even come close to Connor Bedard or Brock Faber, and the Chicago rookie has a pretty significant advantage. Brock Faber's been a very solid piece to Minnesota's D corps but his work pails in comparison to Bedard's 56 points in 58 games.

Understanding NHL Calder odds

Most sportsbooks will display odds in the American format as listed above. When the regular season is nearly finished and a consensus has emerged, you might see a player with a minus sign (-) ahead of his odds, like this:

  • Connor Bedard -400

The (-) means that Bedard is the odds-on favorite, and a bettor would need to wager $400 to win $100. Other contenders in the Calder race might have plus (+) odds to win.

  • Logan Cooley +650

Here, a bettor stood to profit $650 for every $100 wagered. 

If American odds aren't your thing, simply use a tool like our odds converter to switch the odds to decimal or fractional format. Most online sportsbooks also give you the option to change the odds format that you see.
