Conn Smythe Odds 2027: Who Will Win Playoff MVP Next Season?
The Conn Smythe odds 2027 will drop when we get into the postseason for next year. For now, all we can do is appreciate the victory from Jordan Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Staal's postseason campaign included eight goals and four assists across 19 games. That stat line isn't jaw-dropping. But what he did do was tie the record for the longest goal streak in the Stanley Cup Final, scoring in five straight games to open the series with the Vegas Golden Knights. He scored six goals in the SCF, en route to becoming the oldest Conn Smythe winner in NHL history.

🛑 What happens to a Conn Smythe Trophy bet if players are eliminated?
All bets in this market are action, which means if a player you choose to win the Conn Smythe Trophy is eliminated before the Stanley Cup Final, your bets won't be void - they'll almost certainly be a losing wager as no player has won the award without at least appearing in the final series.
🗒️ Conn Smythe Trophy betting strategy
The Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded to the Most Valuable Player of the entire Stanley Cup Playoffs, rather than just the championship round. Although, Jordan Staal's Stanley Cup Final certainly sealed the deal for him.
As far as betting history goes, there are two overarching trends to keep in mind: it is almost always a skater (not a goalie) on the team that wins the Stanley Cup. Only one goalie in the last 13 seasons has claimed the award, and 71.7% of the winners have been forwards or defensemen.
Don't be too cute here: only six players have won the Conn Smythe without winning the Stanley Cup that season, although Connor McDavid did it three seasons ago.
