The NHL preseason is underway, and Sportsbook Review betting analyst Neil Parker has examined the Norris Trophy market and shares his thoughts based on the latest NHL odds from our best sports betting apps.

Following a blockbuster trade this summer the regaining Norris Trophy winner, Erik Karlsson, is a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The move catapulted the Swedish defensemen up the Norris Trophy odds lists across our best NHL betting sites ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, but Colorado Avalanche blueliner Cale Makar remains the favorite to take home the hardware.

Here’s a look at the 2024 Norris Trophy odds across our best sports betting sites.

Norris Trophy odds analysis

There aren’t many edges to be found in the available Norris Trophy odds across our best sportsbook. FanDuel has the best price for Makar, while it’s also definitely notable that BetMGM doesn’t offer a single outlier high number for any of the highlighted favorites.

Norris Trophy odds movement

As noted, there was Norris Trophy odds movement this summer following the Karlsson trade. And, recently, Caesars made a few adjustments to their prices and offers a trio of outlier high prices among the highlighted favorites.

Norris Trophy odds 2024: Favorite

Cale Makar, Avalanche (+240 via FanDuel)

The Norris Trophy odds for Makar are incredibly short, but this might also be the longest number available all season. He’s been a finalist for the award in each of his three full seasons in the league and is just entering his prime offensive years.

Norris Trophy odds 2024: Contender

Rasmus Dahlin, Sabres (+1100 via bet365)

The 2018 first-overall selection took a huge step forward last year, but I’m expecting his true breakout season is still ahead. Additionally, the Buffalo Sabres are a team on the rise with a talented collection of youngsters about to enter their prime years.

Norris Trophy odds 2024: Long shot

Evan Bouchard, Oilers (+6000 via FanDuel)

Quarterbacking the No. 1 power-play unit for the Edmonton Oilers was a cushy gig for Bouchard, and his offensive numbers skyrocketed once Tyson Barrie was dealt to the Nashville Predators ahead of the 2023 NHL trade deadline.

Bouchard picked up 36 points – nine goals – through the final 33 games of the campaign, including the postseason. That pace will be difficult to maintain, but even approaching it will have the 23-year-old defenseman moving up Norris Trophy odds lists. 

Evan Bouchard is a long shot in the Norris Trophy odds.

Norris Trophy odds 2024: Fade

Quinn Hughes, Canucks (+1500 via Caesars)

With the Vancouver Canucks somewhere between rebuilding and contending, I don’t foresee Hughes taking a realistic run at winning the Norris Trophy. His 76 points across 78 games last year was only good enough for a ninth-place finish in the voting, and it could prove difficult to duplicate the impressive offensive numbers.
