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?

See, the Hart rarely goes to players on stacked teams, like the Caps, Stars and Pens. The point is that the teams wouldn't be close to being as successful without the valuable player, so to have teammates nominated for such an award is silly.
