So there can be only 3 guys nominated for the hart trophy per year but this time we have 4 guys putting up really strong seasons. Which one of McDavid, Kucherov, MacKinnon or Matthews is left out?
Why you can't leave out McDavid: McDavid will hit 100+ assists this season. Only Gretzky, Lemieux and Orr have done that before and they were all nominated for the Hart trophy when they did it. McDavid will also most likely pass Orr in assists and be behind only gretzky and Lemieux...
Why you can't leave out Kucherov: Kucherov is pacing for 47+94=141 points. Kucherov is now holding a 45 point lead over his next closest teammate and by the end of the season that will most likely be a 50+ point lead over his next closest teammate. No one else is dominating his team like Kucherov...
Why you can't leave out MacKinnon: Mackinnon is the Canadian media darling this year. Many feel he's been left out before and say he's simply due for a hart trophy. He's also personal friends with Crosby and you know that Crosby is lobbying for MacKinnon to win the Hart trophy behind the scenes. MacKinnon is also pacing for 50+ goals and 140 points. Hard to leave out a guy like that...
Why you can't leave out Matthews: Matthews may have the weakest point total of the 4 guys but he just scored 60 goals for the 2nd time and will most likely score the most goals in a season since 1995-96, with an outside shot at 70 goals still if everything goes right. Plus Matthews is the only player with a diverse background out of the 4 and playing for the Toronto maple leafs always helps to secure a Hart trophy nomination, since most writers who vote come from the Toronto area. Can't leave out your hometown boy if he has a season like Matthews is having right now.
