The Athletic - NHL awards watch: Leon Draisaitl leads a fascinating MVP field
- Thread starter 10YearsHaveGone

Hard to fathom why Kucherov is behind McDavid when their stats are the same and he doesn't have the Hart favourite on his team.
We get it, you don't like the Oilers.
Well, it's not a real leaderboard for Hart for one thing. The Hart winner isn't going to come from the guy that leads in those numbers.
No one is putting Makar ahead of MacKinnon in the Hart race either. I shouldn't say no one, but from the games I've watched, it's obvious who the MVP is....I haven't watched 80+% of their games or anything, but when I ask that question to someone I know that watches 100% of their games.....answer was MacKinnon without any hesitation at all.

It's literally sorted by their rating systems which are statistic-based. It's not very hard to "fathom" when you just read the chart labels

Hutson 4th in Calder? That's a take.....
Let me explain:
It's because McDavid has a net rating of +12.3 and Kucherov has a net rating of +11.8.
Glad to help.

It's just one person's opinion based on their own made up system of numbers
Makar is the more consistent player. MacKinnon when he's on can definitely take over games but Makar is the most consistent performer.
Have you seen how Hart voting usually goes. Players with superstar teammates finish below what their numbers might indicate due to the "valuable to their team" element.

Sure, I mean that's what every statistical model is, of course.
But I seriously doubt he's putting a thumb on the scale just to pump up McDavid and give Kucherov the finger lol. And it's a half point difference lolol

Love it when a narrative requires new stats that are random numbers that somehow always wind up fitting exactly what the narrative requires of it.
A lot gets made of Makar’s numbers away from MacKinnon being weaker while Hughes’ numbers with anyone are great, but Makar’s overall numbers are still very strong. Not surprised a stat for total value on the year would have him ahead, especially with Hughes’ missed games.
