Here’s why Nikita Kucherov should win the Hart instead of Connor McDavid & Nathan MacKinnon.

1) Highest Points-Per-Game:

• Kucherov 1.71

• McDavid 1.68

• MacKinnon 1.59

2) Led Team By The Biggest Margin:

• Kucherov 42 points

• McDavid 41 points

• MacKinnon 27 points

3) Most Game Winning Goals:

• Kucherov 8

• MacKinnon 7

• McDavid 4

He accomplished all that while being on the wing & while having the least TOI/game of the three — Kucherov 20:20, MacKinnon 22:16, McDavid 22:59.

I know he won’t win…but I’m really confused why he won’t. Are we seriously about to rob Kucherov of the Hart Trophy for the third consecutive year?!

Someone please tell me what makes McDavid or MacKinnon that much more valuable.
