Macklin Celebrini leads Calder Trophy betting odds

Lane Hutson is a top contender for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL's best rookie. His performance on the ice has impressed many fans and experts alike. However, sports betting platforms believe he has a tough battle ahead against Macklin Celebrini, who is currently the favorite. According to TVA Sports reporter Nicolas Cloutier, betting odds show Celebrini with a significant lead. For example, FanDuel offers odds of +450 for Hutson, meaning a $100 bet would yield $450. In contrast, Celebrini's odds are -280, which indicates that bookmakers expect him to win. These betting odds reflect the belief that the competition isn't close. Celebrini's odds remain consistent across several platforms, including DraftKings and Odds Shark, with numbers between 1.34 and 1.42. Hutson's odds, however, vary more widely across different sites. While Hutson has garnered support, including votes from 16 NHL experts who picked him as a favorite for the award, the odds suggest a steep challenge. Despite Hutson leading in assists over some players, including Quinn Hughes, he remains behind Celebrini in overall standings. Ultimately, while Hutson is having a great season, the betting world doesn’t see him as likely to win the Calder Trophy. The rivalry between the two players is fierce, but Celebrini appears to hold the upper hand for now.
