Wonder if players operate with the opinion that a player can't be outstanding if the rest of his team is mediocre to poor. I doubt they do, more likely work off their personal experience on the ice and opinions of fellow players.

Media shouldn't be voting for any award. Players voting or GM's voting should be the criteria for every award. Media voting is how you end up with Landeskog beating RNH for the Calder.
I understand why some wouldn't pick a player from a losing team to win the MVP, but "most outstanding player"? That's McDavid. It should be a complete no-brainer.
Media voting is no different than fans voting , it's a joke , and when you see idiots like Spector totally contradicting himself in ways not to vote for McDavid just shows the ignorant bias these hacks have , I think it would be a no brainer to have former players and people actually involed within the hockey circles controlling theses votes. Writers are not the same as 20-25 years ago they now communicate on social media and create a hivemind about players. Landeskog is a good example of this.Media shouldn't be voting for any award.

Yeah, can you remember the circle-jerk that the media was about Landeskog after his rookie year? It was all "intangibles this, and intangibles that". He's a good player, but they were talking about him like he was the assured next Toews-like player.
Hall had the biggest point spread between the top scorer and the second highest on any team in the league, so how did he elevate his team?? Did he get sent back like John Connor and father Cory Schneider or something?I agree no-brainer..... lots of points shouldn’t equal MVP... he should not win. Look at how Hall elevated his whole team... heck look at Crosby in the playoffs OMg... THAT is elevating to MVP status... racking up points on a junk team is next to meaningless.
They should have an award where the posters on HFBoards get to vote on best player lol

The players aren't the best choice either. By a lot of their accounts they don't watch much hockey
We would have made Buffalo look like a Stanley Cup contender without McDavid. It’s a pretty easy concept to understand what an award for best player in the league is and who it should go to. You’ll figure it out, I’m sure.Into the playoffs. To being a far, far better team than they’d be without him. Not a difficult concept.
Do you really think that a team’s top scorer, with high-scoring teammates, is solely responsible for elevating their point totals singlehandedly? lol
