There's likely no beating Ovechkin for the Hart this year, but I think Johnny Gaudreau has played well enough to merit legitimate consideration for the Hart Trophy.
I wrote more about it today at FlamesNation:

"Johnny Gaudreau is, without question, the Flames’ most valuable player. With the way he’s played this year, he should be firmly in contention with Huberdeau and Ovechkin (and well clear of the lottery-bound Edmonton duo) in the race for the Hart."
I particularly enjoyed typing out the phrase "lottery-bound Edmonton duo."
What do you think? Gaudreau for Hart?
