Wait what? Sakic first for GM? I thought he was supposed to be fired a couple of years ago? Good thing Josh didn't listen to most of the HFAvs fans on here.
Well deserved recognition! Hope he wins it.

I find McDavid an interesting choice. The dude is clearly a phenom, but without Drai would he be putting up that amount of points? We all know Mack actually improved when Rants and Landy were out but can McDavid deliver on his own - if not then he alone surely can't be the MVP. Mack is quite evidently the MVP for the Avs, can the same be said for McDavid and the Oilers?

It's like they just looked at the top 10 point leaders and picked the guy with the least PIM.

Wonder how Devils fans would feel about MacKinnon winning the Byng.

The definition of the lady Byng should read “ we felt bad not voting you for the hart but you were a good sport about it”

Mack is going to have to either win the scoring race or Edmonton miss the playoffs if Mack wants the Hart.
The McDavid factor combined with the Edmonton factor will ensure he wins it if the Oilers can get into the post season dance.

Well, if Edmonton somehow makes the postseason then McDavid will be wholly deserving of the Hart.

Was just about to post this. Hall winning the Hart had nothing to do with him scoring so much more than anyone else on his team, and everything to do with East coast bias. Now MacK has almost double the points on the next highest scorer on the team, and McJesus is the front runner despite being practically tied with Drai on his team for points. Funny how that works.
Yes I AM still salty about Hall getting the Hart, why do you ask?

More info here:
MacKinnon catching McDavid is very doable but if the Oilers make the playoffs and McDavid has more points then I think he deserves the Hart. Everyone points to Draisaitl and that's a legit point but you also have to look at the rest of their roster.
As I said in the Makar thread, it's probably not fair to Hughes but it seems like many voters have already given the Calder to Makar. Hughes might have to outproduce Makar by a decent margin when you factor in games missed and PPG.

They're both small and they don't like each other there's few others they could fight with in the league it's pretty funny.
This does not refute your point in the slightest, but Nathan Gerbe (5'4") went at it with Mark Scheifele (6'2") the other night.

Well, Gerbe did not join Wilson in the Great Beyond as far as I know, so I'd say pretty well.

I don't think Sakic deserves GM of the year award unless Avs adopt a puppy. C'mon, a Saint Bernard puppy would be so obvious!!!
