I don't get it. By virtue of being the quote unquote best player you are providing the most value to whatever team you would be on. Now this doesn't mean its the best stats as that can be influenced by your surrounding cast and defensive metrics can factor in too but if someone is clearly the best but the team misses the playoffs cause for the 37 minutes they are not on the ice the team is hot garbage shouldn't be held against the player. It just feels like a reason to have stories and feelings into the race just to make it more interesting or not give it to the same player year after year.
Also if we are talking "value" into account shouldn't we take their cap hit into account with the voting? the 5th best player in the league on a rookie contract is has an edge over the best who takes up the max.
