Who will win Hart Memorial Trophy?
🗂 Part of event: NHL Hart Memorial Trophy →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 25% chance — unlikely.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 25% right now.
Kucherov's low 26% odds reflect skepticism about a 33-year-old winger repeating Hart-level performance amid rising young stars and unresolved team dynamics, despite his recent highlight-reel goal and extension chatter.
📊 Base rate: No Hart winner has been older than 27 since the 2004-05 lockout, making Kucherov's age 33 a significant historical outlier.
What's driving it
- • Kucherov's shootout winner (ESPN, Jul 22) reinforces his elite skill, but the market remains skeptical due to age and competition.
- • Extension talks (Raw Charge, Jul 22) signal long-term commitment but do not guarantee individual award performance.
- • Unresolved Lightning offseason storylines (Daily Faceoff, Jul 24) create uncertainty around team support for Kucherov's Hart case.
- • Rising star Gabe Perreault drawing Kucherov comparisons (Forever Blueshirts, Jul 21) highlights emerging competition for the award.
The case for YES
- • Kucherov's recent shootout winner (ESPN, Jul 22) shows he remains a game-breaking talent capable of Hart-worthy production.
- • Extension talks (Raw Charge, Jul 22) indicate the Lightning are building around him, ensuring he has top-line minutes and power-play time.
- • Historical precedent: Kucherov has already won the Hart once (2018-19), proving he can achieve the peak performance required.
The case for NO
- • Age: At 33, Kucherov would be the oldest Hart winner since the 2004-05 lockout, a significant historical barrier.
- • Competition: Emerging stars like Gabe Perreault (Forever Blueshirts, Jul 21) and established elite centers (McDavid, Matthews) are stronger candidates.
- • Team uncertainty: Unresolved Lightning offseason storylines (Daily Faceoff, Jul 24) could lead to roster changes that hurt Kucherov's supporting cast.
What to watch
- • 2026-07-26: NHL free agency opens; if Lightning lose key teammates, Kucherov's odds likely decrease; if they add elite linemates, odds increase.
- • 2026-10-04: Start of regular season; strong early performance by Kucherov would boost odds, while slow start would drop them.
- • 2026-12-15: Midseason Hart Trophy straw polls; if Kucherov is not in top-3, odds likely fall further.

3M Open Winner
Jackson Koivun commands an unusually high 54% probability for a PGA Tour event, but the 1-point dip in the last 24 hours hints at shifting money, and recent headlines focus entirely on the British Open victory by Ryan Fox (AP News, Jul 24), offering no clear catalyst for that movement or for Koivun's lead itself.
