Really good player, but when you get past the flash, rarely does he carry the team on his back through making others better. Further, he's 35 points back from the league leader in points. There is little justification for him being MVP, when Kucherov and McDavid have carried their teams.

I think it should be Kuch, but I just saw on The Athletic that by defensive metrics, Matthews is in the top 5 forwards. To do that and score 70 goals is impressive, as much as I hate to admit it.
I still wouldn't have him in top 3 though.
