I would likely say no. Standings doesn’t have a whole lot to do with MVP in my eyes. Davos was way better and were actually in 1st and dropped off.
Last i looked, Sherphard, CanMORE, Federov, AAR and Forsberg are the 5 and I’d also toss Stropko in there. Easily the best goalie.
Federov of has a close amount of hits but more goals, points, assists, one of the highest shooting % in the league, PT’s per 20 min, higher +\-, 5 more PPG, leads the league in GWG etc.
If it’s not Federov or Stropko, my mind will explode. All mcAllister beats Federov in is hits and while it is a huge margin, I don’t think lots of hits strictly makes a MVP.
