Player Discussion Leon Draisaitl | 19-20 Art Ross, Ted Lindsay & Hart Trophy Winner | Congrats on 500 Career Points!

[oobga]

It is absolutely hilarious how a lot of East "journalists" are trying to downplay Drai. Especially that blimp Joe Haggerty. Why can't these morons do any research? They get paid to do this. Lazy aholes. He keeps talking about =/-, yet did not know Drai was on for 12 EN goals against or was a + 5 on 5 player lol

Haggerty is actually disrespecting his boy Pasta here. Pasta said Drai should win.

Leon should win it fairly easily. Art Ross by a mile, played better than the consensus best player in the league this season. Panarin shouldnt win for the same reasons that Connor didnt against Kucherov last season, open and shut case. That said I agree with Connor, there are always new hurdles and goalposts.

 

[FlameChampion]

Hopefully Leon wins but I feel like the Hart has lost its meaning over the years. I don’t think people are even using the same criteria to vote. Leon has such a huge gap in points that I don’t understand how another forward can beat him. If anything the only player that I think has a legitimate shot of being most valuable to his team is Hellebuyck and hes not even a candidate because for whatever reason only forwards seem to be considered to be most valuable to your team.

People also ignore the fact that Shesty came in and went 10-2 with a 0.932 SV% at the end of what became of the RS. Zibby scored 41g in 57 games on a different line. Dunno why people are pretending Panarin was the sole reason for the Rangers getting near the playoffs. Even then they still had a huge hill to climb.

Leon was on pace to finish with the same amount of points as Kucherov last year. He swept the awards because the media was saying what an accomplishment that was, even though he did it on a stacked team. Yet with Draisaitl it’s, he plays with McDavid and a lot of his points came on the PP.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Anyways lol. Drai should win this easily, rangers fans are very annoying lol.

[Tobias Kahun]

Cant wait for the main boards to bring up that he plays on the same team as McDavid.

Cant wait for the main boards to bring up that he plays on the same team as McDavid.

And the same team Wayne Gretzky played for. It has to be worth 20 points and 10 goals just to be in the same room as Wayne a few times a year.

All the advice they got from Gretzky had to of doubled their points.

 

[McSuper]

All the advice they got from Gretzky had to of doubled their points.

He drank from the same water bottle as McDavid so none of his points count . He should be sent to the AHL . He can carve out a decent career there . LMAO

Draisaitl won the Hart according to the Finnish NHL.com page.

NHL:n arvokkaimman pelaajan nimi lipsahti liian aikaisin julki suomen kielellä

The name of the NHL's most valuable player slipped out too soon in Finnish

NHL.com's Finnish-language website announced the winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy too early.

According to NHL.com's Finnish website, Edmonton Oilers striker Leon Draisaitl has won the Hart Memorial Trophy to be awarded to his team's most valuable player. The prize will be awarded based on the regular season.

The winner of the award had not been announced by the North American media in the early evening, but NHL.com's Finnish-language website published the information at 17.07 Finnish time.

The NHL is due to announce the winners of five different awards in the evening off the US East Coast. The broadcast of the award ceremony will start next time at 01.30 Finnish time.

NHL.com's Finnish-language site later deleted its news.

Anywhere we can bet on who wins?

Apparently the NHL wrote them all up, but they got leaked in Finland.

Nobody is really shocked Drai won. Even his haters

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I will admit if he does win the Hart and doesn't win the Lindsay, that will be exactly the opposite of what I expected.

 

[Soundwave]

Someone want to update the title? Leon won something pretty major today.

Me too, but I will be extremely shocked if he doesn't take the Lindsay.

Not confirmed yet. Imagine the egg on our faces if the leak was wrong.

 

[LucaBrasil]

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Doubt he actually won.

 

[Weitz]

While he had a pretty amazing season offensively I was sorta hoping he wouldn't win. Just makes the Oilers look even worse.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Your 2019-20 Ted Lindsay winner!!!

So proud of how far this guy has come.
