Yes, the people that voted for him.

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.

What does 'in the conversation' mean? A finalist? There could potentially be a dozen or more players people talk about, but I can't recall the last time a forward or defenseman played half the games everyone else did and still won the award.

Do people actually believe Jose Theodore was a better player than Iginla the year he won it?

He won, so yes, some people did believe that.

I guarantee every single GM would have taken Iginla in a heartbeat that season.

Why would you guarantee that? He won the Hart and I'm guessing any team that season with poor goaltending would have taken Theodore over Iginla. Both players had good seasons that year, it wasn't like Theodore was a bum.
