Youth is taking on a bigger role in the National Hockey League and every year there are first-year players ready to make an impact. Here are the 2023 Calder Trophy Odds, as well as our picks and predictions for the award.
Defenseman Owen Power and center Matty Beniers are the top candidates to win the Calder Trophy this season, with a slight edge over Mason McTavish among the favorites.
In the past 20 seasons, there have been 13 forwards, five defensemen, and two goaltenders to win Rookie of the Year, so the voters tilt towards forwards, but two of the past three winners have been defensemen, so it is hardly a closed process.
Here is a look at the Calder Trophy odds early in NHL training camp.
