Hart Trophy
Given to the MVP of the league each season, the Hart Trophy is the most sought-after of all the individual trophies. Gretzky dominated the 80s, winning the trophy in 8 consecutive seasons and nine of ten overall. Last season, Auston Matthews won his first Hart trophy and is the second favorite this season behind only Connor McDavid.
Mathew Barzal is the lone Islanders player currently with a pre-season chance to win, having long shot odds at +7000. This has him ranked tied for 26th with division rivals Jack Hughes and Jake Guentzel.
We are now in the fifth decade since an Islanders player was last named MVP of the league when Bryan Trottier did so in 1979.
