The Hart to me is a joke just because it typically doesn't come down to what the award should truly be about. Most valuable player to your team should mean if you take that player off that team, what happens to them. If Kucherov isn't on Tampa, their team is still stacked. If Crosby is off the Pens, their team is still really good. If McDavid is off the Oilers, they might set records for how many games they lose.
They should honestly change the wording of the Hart to be "who in the eyes of the media had the best season."

The rest of the team sucking, doesn't make a player more valuable. I'd come at it from a different angle. If a team is full of great players and a player is turning the tide amidst a great team, then that player is more impacting and therefore more valuable.
Dustin Penner was by far the Oilers' MVP one year, because those teams were terrible, I don't think anyone thought he deserved consideration for the Heart.
That said, a player being a more integral part of a team is more valuable than a player just being a sniper and racking up points. So in that way, I'd vote CMac.
2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
