Put me down for the group that dislikes how the Hart is so often just Art Ross Redux.

I found a comparison of Hart and Art Ross winners and it's very clear that, unless you are a defenseman or a goalie (which is rare to win the Hart anyhow since those positions have their own MVP trophies), you are pretty much guaranteed to be Top 5 in league scoring and likely #1 if you win the Hart.

The NHL needs to remind voters what the actual criteria says or change the criteria.
