The Edmonton Oilers playoffs cannot come soon enough. With the first game tonight against the Los Angeles Kings, the Oil On Whyte staff is coming together to talk about the regular season as well as some playoff predictions
Who was the “Hart” winner on The Oilers?
Phil Gretzky:
I’m not sure I could pick one person who was head and shoulders above the rest, because this edition of the Oilers have been so good as a team. I’d say candidates would be McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, Kane, and Bouchard.
Sean Mallon:
It’s still 97 for me. McDavid contributed to a massive share of Edmonton’s team scoring and if he goes down for any reason, the team’s fortunes follow.
Lane Golden:
Connor McDavid had some of the best play driving numbers we’ve ever seen. He managed to score 44 goals and 123 points despite having a career low on-ice shooting percentage. He is MVP without a doubt.
Devon Hladunewich:
It is really hard to not choose Connor McDavid here, so that is who I am going to pick. Draisaitl getting 55 goals is impressive, but McDavid’s 123 points is slightly more impressive.
