But on the matter of Connor McDavid and the Hart Trophy, a confession: I can kind of see both sides here. If you are fine with the Hart simply recognizing the best player, then McDavid should win in a walk. Where the league’s other leading scorers have netted well over 30 power-play points, McDavid has just 18. If one of the players on a playoff team had separated himself from the pack, this would all be much simpler. No one doubts that he’s the best player in the NHL.
