Maybe this was always so:
Here's the 1975 award.
https://www.hockey-reference.com/awards/voting-1975.html#all -hart-stats
Clarke has a very good season, scoring 116 points. But...
Bobby Orr won the Art Ross with 135 points that season - he was 3rd in voting. Phil Esposito had 127 points - he didn't make the ballot. Marcel Dionne has 121 with Detroit - he was 8th. Guy Lafleur has 119 points in only 70 games - that was good enough to get him 5th in voting. Pete Mahovlich has 117 points - he also didn't make the ballot.
Three goalies got votes - Vachon was 2nd, Parent was 4th, and Gary Smith of Vancouver was in 6th ahead of Denis Potvin (76 points) and Dionne. Somehow, Rick Dudley (70 points) and Bob Nevin (72 points) both got 5 votes.
Clearly people are out-thinking themselves on this. Bobby Orr's 135 points is the third highest point total for a defenceman ever. When it happened, it was 2nd, behind only Orr's 1970-71 total. It was his 6th straight 100+ point season though, and they'd already gave him three Harts, so I think they wanted to give it to someone else, and Clarke got the Jonathan Toews over-valuation, because of his intensity. It was a good story - but come on. Bobby Orr should have won that trophy.
