The Shocking NHL Trade Blunders That Could Cost Contenders the 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy
The case for Carolina: It’s the Conned Smythe, not the Conned Smythe-once-removed. If Rantanen continues to dominate the postseason, the Hurricanes have a solid claim here under procedural grounds. And of course, if he were to cap off his run by beating the Hurricanes in the final, that makes the case all that much stronger. (But it doesn’t seem like that’s a realistic outcome anymore.)
The case against: If Rantanen wins the real Conn Smythe, there isn’t one. But if the Stars lose to the Oilers, that would clear the field for someone else to move up and steal the prize.
