  • Leon Draisaitl has been an absolute stud this year and in my opinion, he is the clear front runner for the Hart Trophy.... but it is close and I mean very close! In this video I give my reasons as to why I think he should win The Hart!
    What do you guys think? Drop a comment down below as I read every single one. Do you think he should win the Hart Trophy, or is he even a finalist? Let me hear it.
    Thanks again guys for everything. We'll get to 10K subs one day.

    How about that insane pass he had the other day against Vancouver ...backhand from beside his own net, to the centre line, perfect pass for Hyman who went in to score.

    The guy is the best passer in the league... AND he's leading the league in goals. When is the last time that happened? Easy choice for MVP so far this year.

    I'm not sure he plays "better" when McDavid is out. He definitely steps up for the team, and plays _harder_ in a way that might not be sustainable long term. It's also a good chance to get some of the spotlight on himself, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    I love both mak and helly but drai is definitely the choice for the hart. As long as he keeps it up theres no way he doesn’t win. The games without mcdavid just prove it even more. Helly is a big part of that jets team but they have everyone stepping up while drai has been carrying the oilers and living up to that contract. Also drai>matheww all day

    It`s not only that. Draisaitl is carrying the Oil right now. All season, on both ends of the ice.
    He found some chemistry with Podkolzin, but no way that Pod is anyhow elite and he would be better fitted to a 3rd line more grinding style role.
    Advanced stats showing Drai is finally good on both ends of the ice. He plays - and wins - most of the important faceoffs.
    Yes, he`s getting a bit better matchups with MCD, but MCD has Hyman and RNH next to him, that`s way better wings than Drai has.
    He looked good with Holloway over stretches last year, and with the year Holloway has it was a mistake to let him go.
    Doing what Leon does is impressive. Doing it with Podkolzin and Arvidsson as linemates, is MVP.
    Helle and MacK also playing amazing seasons, so whoever wins it has earned it.
    I do not see a clear favorite, but Drai plays his best hockey so far. And it`s not that he`s coming of a bad basis, with basically 6 100 pts seasons (Covid shortend included, he had 84 in 56 games, well above 100 if he could have played 80 games).

    I still think Hughes probably wins the MVP if the Canucks make the playoffs, but that could be a pretty big "if." Drai has put himself in good position and at this point I think he's just as deserving, so I hope he ends up with his 2nd Hart trophy.

    I’ve been begging for the oilers to keep mcdavo and Leon to be star centers on their own lines. Last year the mcdavid Hyman McLeod line was insane and Draisitl Broberg Holloway linewas just lacking motivated wings. Now knobby wants to mess with the areas not suffering and ignoring how draisitl just needs support not just told “ save the second line please” while suffering

    • @dana102083
      @dana102083 9 днів тому

      Well if you expect broberg, who is a defensive player, to play wing, what do you expect?
      Holloway didnt spend the majority of time withndraisaitl..only a bit morenin playoffs but nearly didnt play as much. Foegele played there more. Kane too.

    I think the heart deserves to go to a player on a bad team carrying them to possible contention not a star player on a Stanley cup contender.
    Tough to call someone the teams mvp when the team as a whole is doing good I’d rather see someone from a underdog team with no expectations make a huge difference and win the heart

Look at werenski playing a hell of a season on Columbus carrying as a defence. Or even Wolf on Calgary they have no point per game players but wolf been carrying them into contention as a goalie.

      No way haha - WPG is the top offensive team in the league, has *22* wins by 3 or more goals, and simply haven't needed Hellebuyck to be that good - he is MOP material but not remotely close to MVP given how they woulf almost certainly still be an elite team with an average starter goalie in replacement... they could swap his GSAx with an avg hypothetical high-volume starter and would still be 4th or 5th in goal differential... Hellebuyck shouldn't be MVP over Leon or perhaps even moreso over Quinn Hughes
