The NHL wrapped up the rolling scheduling of releases to announce the 2020 NHL Awards Finalists on Tuesday morning with the nominations for the Hart Memorial Trophy. Unsurprisingly, not a single Sharks player graces this list, but it’s a rare year that one of them doesn’t deserve it.
Deservedness will be a point of contention from now until whenever the Conference Finals happen, as that’s when the winners will be announced, with the exact time, date and format to be determined. It’s a little more fun to argue over who deserves it more when you’ve got no skin in the game.
