Hall of Famer Doug Gilmour thinks Mitch Marner should be included in the Hart Trophy conversation this season, and that the Maple Leafs winger is changing the perception of who deserves the NHL’s top individual award.
Gilmour hadn’t seen Gretzky’s comments comparing Marner and Matthews to Draisaitl and McDavid, but said he’d already made the connection.
“There’s Brett Hull and , but release is the best I’ve ever seen,” Gilmour said. “And Mitch finds him, he looks for him … and I know they say defence wins championships, but I think offence is the best defence.” Gilmour is also having fun watching Marner and Matthews chase him on the Leafs’ all-time scoring list. Both have 446 points, just six shy of Gilmour in 16th place.
“Records are made to be broken. I was blessed to play the game, but you pass it on and see who’s next,” he said. “This right now is exciting.”
