Gaudreau even if the Flames make the playoffs wouldn't have done anything exceptional. Guys like Benn, Seguin, Kuznetsov, Ovechkin, Malkin etc will all be around ppg and playoff teams. Would they be in the conversation as well?
This is basically like saying if the Oilers make the playoffs should McDavid get the MVP? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

No it really doesn't. If McDavid led the Oilers from their current position into the playoffs he could absolutely be a finalist. Same with Johnny. We're not talking about winning the MVP here, just that they're mentioned/in the conversation.
Anyways the point being that your initial post was overly dramatic and disparaging. It's not a ridiculous idea at all. The fact that one of the most well respected pundits in media said it also proves that. Do you disagree?
Ps Benn and Seguin could easily be in the convo too
