NHL Awards At The Half

Recommended Posts

I think there is an argument that McDavid has been more valuable to the  Oilers than Crosby has been to the Penguins.  If Crosby misses the first half of the season the Penguins are still a playoff team.  If McDavid misses the first half the Oilers are in the running for the first overall pick again.  So based on the Hart being "most valuable" not "best player", I'm going with McDavid.

Right, and I agree. But we all know that's not how it is actually awarded.

Hart Trophy candidates shouldn't be penalized for playing on good teams. Otherwise, the Hart would always go to the best player on a playoff bubble team every season.

...he might if you base it on watching only Canadiens games. Although this season, Canadiens are doing pretty good even when Price is in the bench.
