Guide to the four realms of NHL divisional play in 2021

Connor McDavid is going to win the Hart Trophy this season.

They literally should just list his name three times as the winner and the finalists. No one else should even be in the conversation. As an example, Matt Larkin of The Hockey News noted that through April 26, the Edmonton Oilers were a plus-88 in scoring chances when McDavid was on the ice at even strength.

Without him? They were a minus-183! That's ridiculous!

Even with that kind of case, it won't be a unanimous vote. There's always a caveat.
