Toronto Maple Leafs centre and Franchise Player Auston Matthews has won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP.
The NHL Awards were held last night, and the best player in Toronto Maple Leafs history, Auston Matthews, took home the night’s greatest honour. There was really no surprise, as there was a better chance of Donald Trump showing up and trying to award it to himself than the NHL’s Writers screwing up the easiest lay-up of all-time.
It was the first Hart Trophy for a Leafs player since 1955 when Ted Kennedy won it. Babe Pratt, who won the award in 1943, is the only other Leafs player to win it.
