Jack Adams Award Odds 2024-25: Capitals’ Carbery Extends Lead as Favorite

Spencer Carbery extended his lead atop the 2024-25 Jack Adams Award odds leaderboard at our NHL betting sites, and John Hynes retained his spot with the second-shortest odds.

Carbery's Washington Capitals boast the NHL's best points percentage, providing excellent Stanley Cup odds value. Hynes' Minnesota Wild have the second-best points percentage and are the surprise act of the Western Conference. 

Only Carbery, Hynes, and Scott Arniel have an implied win probability of over 11%.

Jack Adams favorites 2024-25

Spencer Carbery (-120)

Carbery has taken a Washington team that just last season was basically handed a playoff spot and posted the league's sixth-worst goal differential (minus-36), and he's turned the Capitals into an elite NHL squad. 

The Capitals are now producing the best goal differential (plus-38) and the best points percentage and are starting to force themselves into the Stanley Cup contender conversation. They've even found a way to win seven of the last eight without Alexander Ovechkin, whose return from injury isn't far away. 

Carbery has increased his edge over Hynes right now, who's also on a tear in Minnesota. At the moment, he's easily the most deserving candidate, and a winning $10 bet will profit just $8.

Best odds: -120 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 54.55%

My Jack Adams Award coach to watch

Peter DeBoer (+4000)

It's not that DeBoer is doing anything wrong. He's steered the Dallas Stars to the 10th-best points percentage at the quarter pole of the campaign, and they're steamrolling teams at home as one of the Stanley Cup favorites.

Unfortunately, he's up against a few coaches who are doing everything right, most notably Carbery. As long as teams like the Capitals and Wild - and, to some extent, the Winnipeg Jets - continue to sizzle, DeBoer will be somewhat of an afterthought. 

However, he's still in the mix and waiting for an opportunity if the others slip up because, rest assured, Dallas won't do the same.  

His odds decreased from +1600 to +3500 in November, and then again to +4000, providing wonderful value if you're a DeBoer backer. A $10 winning bet would profit $400. 

Best odds: +4000 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 2.44%

How to read Jack Adams Trophy futures odds

Reading Jack Adams Trophy odds is straightforward. Odds are usually presented in a format like +500 or -200. Positive odds (e.g., +500) show how much profit you’d make on a $100 bet.

For example, a $100 bet at +500 odds would win you $500, plus your original $100 stake, totaling $600. Negative odds (e.g., -200) indicate how much you need to bet to win $100. So, a $200 bet at -200 odds would win you $100, plus your $200 stake, totaling $300.

These odds also reflect the probability of a team winning the championship. Lower odds (e.g., +300) suggest a higher likelihood, while higher odds (e.g., +2000) indicate a lower probability.

Sportsbooks adjust these odds based on performance, injuries, trades, and betting patterns.
