Connor McDavid should be 2020 Masterton winner. No doubt.

[Eternal Leaf]

This victim mentality is what is pretty lame.

Victim mentality?

For saying both are worthy candidates?

You brought up Johns' skill level and points production to boost McDavid for the Masterton Trophy of all things.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

The fact of the matter is McDavid didn't miss any time, or had his career derailed and is making some triumphant return.

McDavid being McDavid, but coming off an injury. It would be pretty sad and what diminish the point of the award.

 

[member 290103]

That much is obvious
His career was 100% in jeopardy. A player like him would go from generational to somewhere around an above average first-line player IMO

if he missed no games and returned without missing a beat it was not career threatening. Stop.

 

[11Messier]

Oh i see, so the award should go to who’s out the longest and not for the effort they take to get back as soon as possible. You are okay to give it to McDavid if he followed the long rehab the doctors wanted to do rather than the hard risky path he took to not miss a game.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If giving an award based on time (Guess its easy then, just pick the longest time out) or who had the most serious injury but may have done nothing other than rest to get better is your thing, then great. To me you give an award to someone that goes above and beyond the norm to come back as soon as possible. To each their own guess.

Looks like it’s gonna be a hellevua year for McDavid:

Hart
Art Ross
Lindsay
1st AST
Masterton

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

McDavid is so f***ing good. He even gets injured better than anyone else

Jokes aside he deserves a Masterton nomination

It was though.

If a bullet misses your head by a couple inches did you almost die?

He was incredibly lucky to have his PCL heal without surgery.

You are buying the nonsense attempt to advance this story of a harrowing journey back to the NHL...it’s complete horseshit. I don’t enjoy horseshit.

 

[Oil rise to the top]

Masterton ballots should only contain one name and one name only:

Connor McDavid

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

He literally tore his PCL. That has ended careers before. If he had gotten surgery it would've fundamentally changed his stride and required 2 years (in his prime) for full recovery.

It's fine to vote for someone else but McDavid is certainly in the discussion.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Best player in the game.

 

[Dondini]

Just watched it and all’s I can say is wow. What a summer, so much doubt hard to believe he’s here leading the league. Unreal dedication. Probably the most dedicated guy. Hockey really is his life. Very sid and Stamkos like. Will be interesting to see how many art rosses and 100 point seasons this kid can rack up.

No. He isn’t. If he missed a whole year and there was serious concern he may never play again and he rehabbed or had multiple surgeries...then yes.

By advancing this absurd agenda you are insulting players with real career concerns that have endured dark times and overcome severe obstacles.

McPropaganda didn’t even miss one f***ing game. Stop.

Yes, he’ll likely be the one nominated from the Oilers.

 

[Kaner9]

The man is good but who cares who wins that trophy?

Still lots of season left to play. Counting chickens and all that

He didn't miss a game because he rehabbed for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for 5 months...

 

[Skate2Stick]

I wouldn’t even bother, he clearly has no idea what he is talking about.

 

[valet]

I'd give it to Eichel cause he has to play on the Sabres.

Masterton

Nah I still think Mackinnon has the edge for the Hart. Dude has almost twice as many points as the next guy on his team. More EVP than McDavid. Better Plus minus. His team has a better record as well. And he's only 4pts behind him.

 

[Bank Shot]

Jason Blake missed zero games and won the Masterton.

Couldn’t agree more. But the Hart trophy traditionally goes to the Art Ross winner (when team makes the playoffs)

Ya which is always such crap. Why even have two trophy's at that point.

McDavid won't be getting it then as the Oilers won't make the play offs

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Should be Tkachuk. Got jumped and his head smashed in by a lunatic but fought through the trauma and was ready to play the next day, not 6 months "between games". Would also be a good gesture showing the league is cognizant of head injuries as well.
