Why is it, amongst induvidal achievements, that the Heart trophy is the most prestigous, and the recipient is then almost always dubbed, the current best player in the NHL?? I know the heart trophy is given to the player, voted on by GM's, who is most valuable to his team, but hypothetically speaking, couldn't it be given to any desent player whom just happens to be on an awful team?
While the Pearson award is given to the NHL's most out standing player, as voted on by the players. It seems that the Pearson, is given to the over all best player, and being voted on by ones competitors would seem to make it even more of an achievement. So why is the heart trophy so much more prestiegous?
