The National Hockey League regular season has come to an end. It was an amazing time all year long, as there were great teams and bad teams.

The great teams battled all year long for playoff positioning, while the bad teams participated in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes. It was entertaining all year long.

Once the season is over, we can start to think about the individual awards that will be handed out at the end of the season.

There are a lot of really prestigious awards that the league gives and some amazing players are going to be the recipients of them. These are the players that should be the winners of all the top NHL Awards:

Hart Trophy

The Hart Trophy is an NHL Award that was locked up a really long time ago.

. C. Edmonton Oilers. Connor McDavid. 97. player. 148

The Hart Trophy is the award that goes to the player that is voted most valuable to his team. The MVP this season is going to be Connor McDavid once again. This is an NHL Award that was locked up a long time ago, as it became clear that McDavid was pulling away.

Only a handful of players have ever had 150 points in the NHL, and McDavid did that. He had 64 goals and 89 assists for 153 points. He led the league in every category to win the Rocket Richard and the Art Ross trophy. He will be adding another MVP to his shelf as well.

Watching McDavid in 2022-23 has simply been magnificent. He wanted to go out there and score some more goals. Most would have assumed that his assist totals came down as a result, but he actually had a career-high in those by ten too.

Thinking about the fact that he is just now entering his true prime is scary. He has 850 career points, so another year like this and he could reach 1000 by the end of next season, and he’ll only be 27. There will be a few more Hart Trophies coming his way after this one too.
