Holtby is playing great, but he's playing on a team with Ovechkin and Backstrom.
Karlsson playing at over a PPG as a defenseman is too good to overlook.
So in terms of actual MVPs to their teams I think you got:
1. Kane
2. Karlsson
And then when you look at offense, Gaudreau is putting up the same pace as Hall and Tarasenko. Gaudreau's GWG are only behind Pavelski and he leads the league in OT points (regardless of how you feel about 3on3 there's no denying those points convert directly to points in the standings). I think a case could be made for Gaudreau. Although I think Brodie is the real MVP.

Take Gaudreau off this team and where are the Flames? Basement? Are we even in many games?
