looking at the winners list I think it does more accurately show the best player in any given year. pretty cool Mike Liut won.

I think the players don't dislike McDavid as much as a lot of fans (especially us) do. I think a lot are in awe of his skill level and just vote that way.
It's interesting that only 3 goalies have ever won, and none are named Roy or Brodeur. and one is named Liut.
