NHL Awards odds: Sidney Crosby favored to win all the 2013-14 trophies
(Pictured: The Adamantium exo-skull installed by the Pittsburgh Penguins around Sidney Crosby's brain is recalibrated.)
If Sidney Crosby plays an 82-game season for the Pittsburgh Penguins and maintains the points-per-game average he had in 2012-13, he’ll be looking at 128 points, which would be a career best and the highest point total since Mario Lemieux’s 161 in 1995-96.
Will this happen? Probably not. But it gives you some context as for why Sidney Crosby is the odds-on favorite for every offensive award, via the latest odds from Bovada:
