Nikita Kucherov

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JUNE 19:  Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning accepts the Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team, during the 2019 NHL Awards at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on June 19, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

To no one’s surprise, Kucherov almost cleaned the house, as he won the Hart, the Lindsay and the Art Ross trophies. Listen, when you put up 128 points in 82 games, something that hasn’t been done since Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux in the 90s, you deserve the trophies you got nominated for.
