I agree- McDavid will likely win this award more than once before his career is over- but hard to see it in a weird truncated season that ended in playoff failure
I think Vladdy Jr would have been the vote if we forget the Olympics- essentially an MVP season in MLB (just more unique for a Canadian than essentially the same version from a hockey player- both with their team missing or sputtering in the playoffs)...Davies won last year, and we have the big tournament that cannot be named coming up next year
edit- having said that above, I note that in the timespan that Votto has won twice, only one NHLer (Price) has won it
