On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, Jonathan Huberdeau has added his name to a crowded field of Hart Trophy hopefuls. Hosts Mary Clarke and Andrew Berkshire discuss where Huberdeau stacks up among this tough Hart Trophy field of Auston Matthews, Igor Shesterkin, Johnny Gaudreau, Connor McDavid, and others.

Next, the Toronto Maple Leafs have enacted an odd policy of posting the names and pictures of their game’s referees on the bench. Will this decision help them gain the trust and respect of officials like captain John Tavares says it will?

Plus, as it stands, the Presidents’ Trophy is currently meaningless as an award for the best regular season team in the NHL. Hosts Mary and Andrew then try to come up with ways to make the award mean something for teams after a grueling 82 game season.
