🏛️ Spencer Carbery, Washington Capitals

Carbery's first-year impact on the Capitals was one of the best stories of the NHL season. Of course, his narrative was eclipsed by the Great 8, but Carbery will be happy to take a morsel of the credit. 

Carbery facilitated a winning culture in Washington, bringing them from one of the worst playoff participants to a Presidents' Trophy contender. He became the first person to be named coach of the year in the NHL, American Hockey League and ECHL.

What he did was remarkable, and he is the deserving recipient of the Jack Adams Award. 

📰 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.
