Jack Adams Award winner

Rick Tocchet (-300 via bet365)

Tocchet was the deserving winner of the Jack Adams Award, handed out to the NHL's best regular-season coach. He instilled a sense of belief and inspiration that was missing in previous seasons, leading to the team's first playoff berth in three campaigns. 

The Canucks were the Pacific Division pace-setters for most of the 2023-24 season, persevering after losing No. 1 netminder to a long-term knee injury. The Canucks finished the season at 50-23-9, tied for the sixth-best record.
