The 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs get underway on Monday and one team will be left by the time we get to June. It's a two-plus month process to get to the Stanley Cup Final, where one player will be awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP. Last season, Colorado Avalanche D Cale Makar won the award after leading the Avs to the Cup Final win over the Lightning in six games. Here we'll go over odds for the Conn Smythe heading into the start of the first round.
The favorites at the top are David Pastrnak, the top wing on the Boston Bruins, who have the best odds to win the Cup. Behind him is Connor McDavid, who has the Oilers in a good position to make a run. McDavid has such high odds despite Edmonton not being among the top-2 in Stanley Cup odds, mostly because if the Oilers do make it to the Final, he's a shoe-in. There's even a scenario where McDavid wins Conn Smythe despite losing the Stanley Cup; we've seen it before.
