Aside from Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos, no one has better odds than Thomas Vanek to win the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP.
The oddsmakers at Bovada.lv have the Sabres' leading scorer at 11-2 to win the coveted trophy with about 20 percent of the season gone. Pittsburgh's Crosby and Tampa Bay's Stamkos lead the field at 4-1.
Here are the rest of the odds, plus those for top goaltender and coach, along with our usual disclaimer: Gambling is bad. Your money is much better spent on concerts, women and whiskey.
