Hockey agent Shumi Babaev said that the striker’s victory “Edmonton” Connor McDavid The Conn Smythe Trophy is largely advertising, because the hockey player is the face of the NHL.
Monday “Florida” On their ice, they defeated Edmonton in the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final with a score of 2: 1 and won the trophy for the first time in history. After the playoffs, McDavid won the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded annually to the best player in the NHL playoffs. The first star of the decisive match was Russian goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.
— The winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy is chosen by journalists. Look how the votes are distributed: Bobrovsky has only seven points, he is only in fourth place. McDavid has an unconditional victory in this nomination. The fact that he was chosen by 16 out of 17 journalists is no joke.
The situation here is that Florida didn’t win with Bobrovsky alone. He stood tall and made a major contribution to the victory alongside Barkov and several top players. But Edmonton is really McDavid, even though they have Draisaitl and other guys. The record he set is also worth a lot. Of course, we would all love to see one of our players win the Conn Smythe Trophy. But the reality is that McDavid is the face of this league and he needs to be promoted. There are a lot of advertising and commercial grounds in this decision,” Babaev said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Last season, McDavid scored 132 points (32+100) in 76 NHL regular season games and also recorded 42 points (8+34) in 25 playoff games.
