The simple answer is yes. Kucherov is not a very likable player. First off he is Russian. So a language barrier is going to keep him from bonding with players around the league, who all are North American. I don't see him winning the Lindsay ever, which is definitely a popularity contest amongst players. If he didn't win it in 2019, he ain't winning that trophy.
As for Hart voting, there are definitely some biases this year that have everything to do with the All Star game. That is a media event, where the NHL is sticking their hands out for money from the media. Kucherov and his ego had to make it all about him, and make a joke of the event. This pissed off the NHL and important powers in the media, no question.
