Leo Carlsson Enters 2026-27 Season With +20000 Hart Trophy Odds

Anaheim Ducks forward Leo Carlsson enters the 2026-27 NHL season with +20000 odds to win the Hart Trophy. Carlsson became the league's highest-paid player after signing an $18 million AAV offer sheet with Philadelphia that Anaheim matched. After a strong start to 2025-26 with 25 points in his first 15 games, he battled injuries and surgery before returning to score 11 points in 12 playoff games. He will need a healthy 84-game season to contend for the Hart.
