Connor McDavid, the undisputed face of the NHL and captain of the Edmonton Oilers, has cemented his legacy as one of the game's all-time greats with an incredible three Hart Memorial Trophies, awarded to the league's most valuable player. His dominance has been a consistent storyline in the NHL, marked by breathtaking speed, unparalleled skill, and a relentless drive to win.
McDavid's MVP Masterclasses
McDavid's first Hart Trophy came in the 2016-17 season, his sophomore year. At just 20 years old, he dazzled the league by leading all scorers with 100 points in 82 games, securing his first Art Ross Trophy and single-handedly propelling the Oilers to their first playoff appearance in over a decade. His breathtaking rushes and elite playmaking immediately established him as a generational talent. He earned his second MVP during the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign, delivering an absolutely historic performance with 105 points in just 56 games – an astonishing 1.88 points per game average – making him a unanimous Hart Trophy winner and showcasing his ability to elevate his game under any circumstances.
The 2022-23 season saw McDavid reach new heights, earning his third Hart Trophy with a career-best and league-leading 153 points (64 goals, 89 assists) in 82 games. This was a statistical season for the ages, as he became the first player since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96 to crack the 150-point mark. McDavid's ability to score at will while also setting up teammates with highlight-reel passes made him virtually unstoppable, affirming his status as the most dominant offensive force in modern hockey and a truly special athlete capable of rewriting the record books.
