Leon!
"The Ted Lindsay Award (formerly the Lester B. Pearson Award) is presented annually to the "most outstanding player" in the NHL as voted by fellow members of the National Hockey League Players' Association."
If the NHL regular season has closed its doors for 2019-20, let's take a look at what the trophy situation might look like.
Last years winner was Nikita Kucherov TB
Honorable mention to Sidney Crosby, but he missed too many games (in my opinion) to be considered.
My nominees (listed alphabetically):
Leon Draisaitl EDM (71-43-67-110). Won Art Ross by 13 points, averaged 22:37 TOI, tops amongst NHL forwards and his 66 even-strength points were second best in the league
Nathan MacKinnon COL (69-35-58-93). Third most even-strength points, averaged ninth most TOI (21:13) amongst forwards
Connor McDavid EDM (64-34-63-97). Not so arguably the best player in the game, averaged third most TOI (21:52) amongst forwards
Leon!

What a season Leon had. man.
But I give it to Mack.
We're still trying to find his one rep-max for carrying the team.
Played without significant pieces of this team for long stretches.

Leon for me. On pace for 128 points in a season.
McDavid is basically unanimously considered the best player in hockey and his career best is 116.

Crazy how there could be two players from the same team nominated for this award. Wow.
I voted Leon.

Surprised Leon won this one as well.
Well, I got the Edmonton part right.

Huh...I didn't realize McDavid AND Draisaitl were nominated for this award.
Quite honestly makes it more funny to me that Draisaitl won MVP despite him and his teammate being acknowledged by the players as two of the best players in the league.

Ohhh my mistake. Haha.
Don't get me wrong, I think Draisaitl is a phenomenal player. But if anything that makes me more sour on the Hart win tbh that they both got voted top 3 for this award.
