With the 2022-23 season right around the corner (about six weeks away), it's time to start looking at the odds of the NHL's biggest individual player trophies.

First, let's take a look at the Norris Trophy, awarded to the league's best defenseman.

Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche won the Norris for the 2021-22 season with the most votes at 1,631. However, even though Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators had fewer total votes (1,606), he did have more first-place votes with 98, compared to Makar's 92.

Anyways, here are the odds for the 2022-23 Norris Trophy winner:

Cale Makar: +150
Roman Josi: +750
Victor Hedman: TBD
Adam Fox: +800
Charlie McAvoy: +900
Aaron Ekblad: +1000
Miro Heiskanen: +2000
Quinn Hughes: +2000
Moritz Seider: +2500
Devon Toews: +3000
Kris Letang: +3000
Alex Pietrangelo: +3300
Morgan Rielly: +3300
Shea Theodore: +3300
John Carlson: +4000
Thomas Chabot: +5000
Dougie Hamilton: +6000
Jaccob Slavin: +6000
Jared Spurgeon: +6000
MacKenzie Weegar: +6000
Rasmus Dahlin: +6000
Seth Jones: +6000
Tony DeAngelo: +6000

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy is out until at least December, which probably all but erases his chances of winning the Norris this year, but you never know! Makar can also become the first back-to-back winner since Nicklas Lidstrom in the 2000s.
