Hey It Is Early, Let’s Talk Hart Trophy Candidates

from Sam McCaig of The Hockey News,
Here are the top 10 candidates for the Hart Trophy this season:
9. Henrik Lundqvist, NY Rangers
After being nominated for the Vezina Trophy in each of his first three NHL seasons, Lundqvist didn’t garner top-three support last year. But he still collected one first-place vote and he’s recognized around the league as the reason the Rangers remain relevant. Aside from Niklas Backstrom in Minnesota, there might not be a more important player to his team’s fortunes.
Odds: 30-1
10. Zdeno Chara, Boston
A long shot, seeing as he’d have to rise above last year’s elevated performance. But if Chara and the Bruins come through big again, look for the specimen defenseman to get some Hart support.
Odds: 50-1
