When is the next time a non-forward will win the Hart?

[CanadienShark]

I'll go 3-5. Tons of young talent at all positions. I could see a young d-man taking one home.

Price is signed through 2025-26, so some time after that.

I realize you're making a joke... But I don't get it. You say no non-forward can win until Price retires, but you also suggest Price won't win. What does Price have to do with anything if you don't think he can win?

No idea.

Kinda sad that the Hart is turning into a scoring award, much like the NFL MVP is turning into a best QB award.

Top defenseman who are elite defensively, and maybe the odd exceptional goalie season should get consideration on a yearly basis.

The last two non-forward Hart winners were Theodore and Price. I was poking fun at Habs writers homer voting their ballots.

On a more serious note, with the way offense is being funneled through defensemen nowadays, they're in the best position they've even been to accumulate Hart votes.

Yeah I understand that, maybe the joke is just going over my head.

Agreed on that point. D-men are becoming a huge part of offence and I absolutely could see it happening with the number of P/G d-men we've seen lately.

When Shesterkin goes 50-5-2 next year with a .940

I'd be shocked if Shesterkin didnt win the Hart (and Calder) next season
