NEW YORK—Calgary Flames right wing Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin and Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin are the three finalists for the Hart Trophy, awarded to the player judged “the most valuable to his team,” the National Hockey League announced today.
Members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association submitted ballots for the Hart Trophy at the conclusion of the regular season, with the top three vote-getters announced as finalists. The winner will be announced Thursday, June 12 during the 2008 NHL Awards Television Special, which will be broadcast live throughout Canada on CBC and the United States on VERSUS from the historic Elgin Theatre in Toronto.
Update 3:20pm ET: At Sportsnet.ca, Chris Nichols analyzes the choices.

They’d probably be out of the playoffs.
Even Ovechkin wouldn’t have won if the Caps hadn’t squeaked into the postseason.

Malkin, while he played very well in Crosby’s absence, should not be on this list. Where is Bryzgalov? Where would the Coyotes be without him this year?
