HockeyBuzz Hotstove: Who will win the Hart Trophy in 2019-20?

He's the best player in the league, and has probably deserved the trophy in each season since he made his debut.
- Michael Stuart

Yes Michael, McDavid should have won it in 2016 despite playing less than 50 games.

Partially Torn PCL is no joke...hopefully he doesn’t loose a step

Did i read right, Tanner says 87 one of best defensive forwards?

it's McD's to lose

Lucic will win it.

I don't know why "5 on 5" points matters in Hart talk because it's perfectly acceptable to get points on the powerplay when talking league VP

Tanner doesn't actually watch hockey

So Mcdavid was unable to train this summer but will win the Hart? Did he skate at all?

Hes been skating for over a month. Hes back to 100% just waiting on tests to prove his leg is back to his previous testing scores.

Then why is he uncertain to play game 1? Sounds like it's more serious.

He said it largely feels fine.

Yes, just like he should have won the Calder that year.

@claude
When he was a rookie, he came back from injury, and dominated from the 1st game he was back.
He is that good.

Hes only uncertain because they have not yet done the comparison testing. They test the strength of the knee and see if it is the same as the tests they took before the injury. If they conclude his strength is back to 100% he will play, which McDavid himself has already said he feels 100% as though the injury never happened. The only way he misses a game is if the staff want to be overly cautious with him. But i bet we see him game 1.

Hard to give it to a guy who misses the playoffs

Not that I wanna defend tanner, but his whole post about Sid was pretty spot on. He’s definitely a top defensive forward now

Tavares runs away with it

Max Domi

duh.

thank you.

did you see when they were talking about the rocket and used 5v5 goals to decide who will win?

Why ask two oiler haters their choice...it's McJesus all the way...this year having Neal with 25 plus goals on nuge line should add the secondary scoring we need on the wing(thanks a ton treliving), drai stays on top line looking for 50 again...

McDavid and Drai are amazing, no doubt and Nuge will be his steady self. But, I don't understand where your faith in Neal comes from.

Thats not how this works, we will just keep telling you how dumb your posts are when you post something dumb. If you post something that makes sense you will get the appropriate reaction.
