Sean Maloughney: Leon Draisaitl Deserves The Hart

I mean he's a good player, but he's either:
1) Benefited from playing most of the time (and PP) with CMD
2) Benefited from other teams playing their top shut down guys against CMD

With or without CMD, he's a product of CMD.

Give it to Pasternak, guy is doing it all and leading his team to the best record in the NHL.

Huh?

So you’re just gonna ignore what he’s done since McDavid went down with injury?

Cause his play since said injury completely negates your entire (frank)ing argument.

i hate the oilers....but i think the german probably deserves the hart. i feel dirty now.

So the Pasta doesn't benefit from playing with Marchand (one of the best players in the league) and Bergeron, (also one of the better players in the league)?
And also Pasta plays for a much better team.

Pasta having a great season, but substantially below Draisaitl's

Don’t worry Fink, I felt the same about Gio and the Norris last year.

Draisaitl is having a "Bolt" type season.
He's 10yrds ahead of the pack.

As of right now, yep, and it doesnt looks like there's anyone else really challenging, besides McDavid of course. Maybe Pasta because of the goal totals, but he's not far and above the best goal scorer this year like OV has been in the past. Something about Draisatl being so consistently dominant through adversity just screams Hart.

This is laughable.

Draisaitl is a beast, and doesn't need McDavid to produce.

The argument you're using could be said for Pastrnak as well, it's Marchand who is setting him up day in day out. Without Marchand and the best two-way centerman, Pastrnak wouldn't have nearly the goals he does right now.

Woke up to winter wonderland part 2 so I had to shovel...what a waste of time on a holiday

It’s damned nice to see Draisaitl get so much love from other fan bases in here.

Thank you all.

Well we had to suffer terribly to get them, so I don’t feel too guilty. Nor will you when Seider and Lafreniere breakout. 👍

Give us RNH.
