There is one NHL award that is completely objective and that is the Rocket Richard Trophy, given to the player who scores the most goals. As you’d expect after what we saw last season, Auston Matthews is the favorite to repeat in this market, but bookmakers are also pretty high on Leon Draisaitl, Kyle Connor and Kirill Kaprizov.
Here are our favorite bets to win the Rocket Richard:
In seven seasons, McDavid has won four scoring titles and two Hart Trophies. Is 2022-23 the year he leads the NHL in goals for the first time?
Don't rule it out. During the player media tour in Las Vegas in September, McDavid told Sportsnet he aims to become a more dangerous scorer this year. His 44 goals last season were a career high, but were also well back of Auston Matthews' impressive 60-goal campaign.
