I believe it would be Kane....and probably in a landslide. Because he is the league's best player this season.

Kane of course. He's been dominant and the leagues best player. Doesn't mean the award always goes to the leagues best player. Sedin won it in 09 scoring 3 more points than Ovechkin and Crosby. Is anyone willing to say Sedin was the best player in the NHL that year? He had the most points but Crosby is a far better player. The award usually goes to the leagues best player because they are the most valuable to their team. I have no doubt if McDavid went on a tear and the Oilers made the playoffs that McDavid would be in the conversation even though he'd have played half a season.
Do people actually believe Jose Theodore was a better player than Iginla the year he won it? I guarantee every single GM would have taken Iginla in a heartbeat that season.
