The Canadian Press Connor McDavid , Getty images Connor McDavid's dominant 2020-21 season left little room for doubt when it came to naming this year's NHL most valuable player. The Edmonton Oilers captain picked up his second career Hart Trophy on Tuesday and, just as it was when he won this season's scoring race, he left the runner-up in the dust. McDavid received first-place votes on all 100 ballots, becoming just the second unanimous winner of the award. The other was another Oilers superstar centre. Wayne Gretzky swept all 63 first place votes in 1981-82 following his 92-goal, 212-point season.
